Arch is what I have been running (since around 2006). I love the simplicity. When things do break, there is an amazing community waiting to provide support. The Arch community rules! I think Arch is quickly becoming what Gentoo was...(hopefully I dont start a war!).

What do you think gentoo was? When I used it (2005-7ish), I think it was a toy for brat haxxors. At the time, I was a brat haxxor, so it worked well.
During a certain period the Gentoo wiki was one of the best resources for configuration and debugging, even if you used another distro. The downfall might be coincide with the Big Wiki Loss [0].
