I've been using the latest Gentoo for ABOUT A MONTH. I LOVE IT! Stable as ever, and pretty lightweight. I love their portage system.

The install went great, but at least on my 900 Duron w/ 512mb RAM and 2 40GB hd's, it took about 24 hours to get a useable system, which included compiling teh kernel, x, kde and many utilities, as well as gcc....

gentoo rocks, just not for newbies.
