Source Based Distro's.

[Robert F. Stockdale IV]

I've been running Gentoo since early spring. Seems to be the most stable 
distro I've ever used. Installing takes some time as everything gets 
compiled (that is if you start a Stage 1 installation), not just 
installing pre-compiled binaries. Gentoo is awesome at resolving 
dependencies and is easy to maintain. Most other distros gave me 
headaches of one type or another. Especially with my video card and 
monitor combination. Not a single flicker. Important note is to follow 
the Installation Guide and read as much as possible. The guide can even 
be accessed through one of the virtual terminals using a text based web 
browser and then you can cut and paste commands between them.
