Thanks, I'll give it a try.

True, it goes something like this:

Mandrake: I used to be a pure Mandrake man, but since 9.1 was the last
version I'd call close to stable I've more or less given up on this.
Mandrake 10 just has too many problems for me.

Debian: Lastest Sarge installer is brilliant but I have had no luck
getting accelerated ATI drivers to work under X so just use Debian on a
couple of servers at work.

Fedora: Probably best we don't even talk about it!

Gentoo: My preferred distro, it works very well for me and I find it
very difficult to break and it has every package I've ever wanted.
Portage is a wonderful package system that works well for me time and
time again.
