I've tried Kubuntu (never cared for GNOME) as well as MEPIS, but my all-time favorite Linux distro remains Gentoo.

I am not a speed-freak to the point of trying to spend hours optimizing the compiler settings for programs. What I find attractive is Portage, which does, IMHO, a phenomenal job managing software.
