I have used Debian for the last 3-4 years (since I got fed up by Redhats
"missing dependencies"), and it's still on my main machine.
However, my (two) new machines, one of which is a laptop, runs Gentoo.
The speed difference isn't that great, compiling everything takes a long
time, but for some reason I feel more at home with Gentoo.
They are the only Linux distros for me - Gentoo on a fast machine with
lots of ram, Debian on anyting smaller.
