I currently run Gentoo on my ancient Dell notebook. I will soon be purchasing a new computer and my Dell will move to the living room and be used solely web browsing. I am interested in trying a new distro. I have used Mandrake (hated it), Slackware (liked, but not loved), and Gentoo (which I like a lot), in the past. Any suggestions?
It's hard to help ---- you say that you hated Mandrake (surely you tried Mandriva? ) but you don't say why. I like Mandriva --- and I'm not going to say why. It's personal. I love Slackware too. And Kubuntu. And so on. If you like Gentoo so much, stick with it. If you want to try a new distro, then try all of them. Only you can decide. Good luck.
This is the distro I use and recommend, Why because it works right out of the box. No need to configure Everything, everything just works. It also comes as a 1 CD install that is a live CD that you can install later if you wish.
