What is your favorite Linux distro?

I use gentoo on my desktop pc at work and slackware on my sony vaio
both are great, I also tried debian and ubuntu several times, but I've always destroyed the package system
I cannot recommend gentoo for older systems, it took me two days to compile gnome + X on a pentium3 500
