VidaLinux: A Linux Distro based on Gentoo (link)

The installer ran smooth on every system we tested on, the desktop is one of the best I've seen in a very long time, the menus are organized almost flawlessly, and the applications loaded by default are of excellent grade and selection. What more could you ask for in a distribution? Speed? It's there. This is as fast, if not faster, than my main Slackware station... and I love my Slackware system, but let me tell you this came close to changing my mind. If you know me, you know that's pretty hard to do when it comes to Slackware Linux.
