I used Gentoo a while ago, and I did enjoy the experience, but found the culture and system to be a bit mired in old stubborn tradition. An interesting fork-ish project is Exherbo, which is basically Gentoo but much lighter (in architecture, not performance really), cleaner (in my opinion) and modern. It's not for everyone, but if Gentoo tickled your fancy but you found it a bit old-feeling, give Exherbo a shot! http://www.exherbo.org/ http://www.exherbo.org/ Full disclosure: I have absolutely no connection with Exherbo or its maintainers.
