[LUNI] What distro are you using?

[Branko Kotur]

I've just recently bought parts for a new computer and will be gutting my old 
computer for a few extra parts that I didn't buy.  This has led me to put 
some thought into what distro I'll be installing.  Currently, I'm using 
Gentoo for my main system, but I'm on the fence as to if I want to spend a 
few days with no computer (aside from my aging laptop) while I wait for 
everything to compile.  I've been a Gentoo user for a few years, but the 
prospect of another long install and even longer process of trying to get 
things to work the way I want them to, I'm thinking of switching to something 
easier and faster.  While I love Gentoo once it's up and running, I just 
don't think I want to go through that hassle yet again.  

I've recently used Fedora 7 and Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop and was wondering 
what other distros everyone is using so that I can evaluate them against my 
needs/wants.  I'll be doing the surgery later this week (I may wait until the 
weekend), so I'll be dowloading ISO's within the next few days.  While I 
don't mind tinkering with things here and there, I'd like most things to just 
work right out of the box.  I just don't want to spend 3 - 5 days doing 
nothing but compiling until KDE is up and running.
