I've only tried a few - Red Hat, Debian and Mandrake being the
others, but it's by far the best IMHO.  It'd be pretty tough
for a newbie to set up, but the package manager is just
_awesome_.  For example, I wanted to do a 'whois' this morning.
My system didn't have it.  I typed  'emerge whois' at the
shell and 30 seconds later was ready to rock.

Try it - you'll never go back. :)
