Which distro fits with me


Hello
I'm looking for a distro with:
  • * The 2.6 kernel
    * tons of libraries with there headers
    * Good gaming enviorment
    * Very stable
    * Good development enviorment
    * Very configurable
I've already used slackware for a long time, but i have problems with the libraries and headers so i can't program with qt and gtk.
And i want the 2.6 kernel so that al new hardware is supported.
I want a nice game enviorment too, cus o have ut2004 and doom 3 for linux, and i'm into OpenGL programming.
Ofcourse i want a really stable distro.
Good development enviorment(much editors, debuggers and thins like that.
And ofcourse i want a very configurable distro, so i can fit it with my needs.
So does anyone know which distro fits with me, or one that looks close like it?
Thanx Hylke

I would suggest Mandrake or Fedora core for you. Mandrake has loads of games and developemnt tools in the contrib section of their package repositories.

Definitely Gentoo, if you don't mind installing the OS the "Gentoo way"
(AKA: Intently following directions for hours while using the command prompt)

But I consider the install process of Gentoo like training for a race. It takes some work, but the trophy you get at the end is really great.
