Choose Debian Etch :)
Why ?
1) You will just download 3 DVDs once, then you will have about 98% percent of
applications you may need everywhere with yourself ! Eclipse, Games, Kernel
Source, Libraries, ...
2) Great Package Manager ! You can easily install and find any package using
APT system, and all applications will be installed easily and fast !
3) You like Gentoo and want an optimized system ? Download 3 Source Codes DVDs,
and you can use apt-build to compile applications instead of install binaries.
4) It's stable !
5) Goto 1 (Infinite Loop ?!)
Need more reasons ? Use it for a month, then you will find out the other
reasons :P Enjoy :)

I'm at the stage with my system that I'm itching to reinstall just because I
can. Since I need my machine to earn money, and I often work in places with
limited internet bandwidth, I'm interested in a distro that 'just works' - in
terms of decent hardware support (Apple MacBook a bonus) wireless networking,
multiple monitor support...... If my drive bugs out, I need to be up and
running within a few hours.
(I do like the idea of Gentoo, but all the download+compile isn't attractive
when you're in a hotel on a modem.....)
So, I'm not looking to start a 'my distro is better than your distro' flame
war, but I am looking for opinions on what distro you use, why, and what
doesn't work for you.
all opinions welcome. TIA
Sean
