I used to use this Linux distribution, but now I use ubuntu.

Gentoo website

Good points:

emerge is fantastic

the forums and the bugzilla are really active and responsive

because you can upgrade stuff so easily it makes you look at what you have got installed; you don't really want to pull down and compile the latest samba if you're not really using it.

Erm…

That's it

Bad points

It can takes days for stuff to compile

You need a lot of disk space for compilation and storing source files

You need a decent net connection to make it worthwhile

Seriously though it is fun.
