I really love Suse and the new 8.2 looks great, but right now I don't have enough cash for it!
So I went with Gentoo
I like it a lot. It took me all day to install because of all the compiling, and then kde went overnight, but the end result is a pretty quick system. It only has what you put on it, and its all customized for you. Portage is really nice.
If I go back to SuSE, I won't miss the difficultly of setting up Gentoo (though it has taught me a lot), but I'll miss the ease of portage. I always get things all mixed up with RPMs.
