Setup for Ubuntu is pretty easy (and the new dapper is nice). Compared 
to Fedora 4 I like it better just because I've always had a problem 
their RPM and updates (somehow I could always break them), but maybe 
they've got better? Ubuntu is nice though.

I'm kinda torn though because I don't like the whole 6 month release 
thing (which is why I run Ubuntu alphas). So Gentoo would be nice. But 
at the same time I don't want to spend a lot of time compiling, well 
unless it's my programs.
