Mandrake here and still is. Running dual boot.
I came along the lines of Slackware->Gentoo->Arch->Ubuntu.
I still have my Arch machines but really like Ubuntu and have been recommending it to my friends.
Was using Gentoo on this machine, and still have it installed on a few others, though I'm considering a complete switch-over.
sorta: Debian > Arch > Fedora > Debian > Ubuntu
centOS -> yoper -> ubuntu
..all inna weeks time..

Hi Everyone! I am new to this board...
I just wanted to say that I will be trying out Ubuntu soon! I've heard a lot of good things about it and the fact that they use the Gnome desktop by default is Fabulous!!
I have used MANY distros though the most recent ones have been Xandros and Fedora all the way to Mepis.
I can see why a lot of people would be coming from Gentoo... User-friendliness is the majority vote these days along with the idea of being a very multi-media friendly distro. Now, I know Ubuntu isn't all that up on multi-media like Mepis is... but I hope they catch up to Mepis soon as I would rather run the Gnome desktop! I could always load the Gnome desktop into Mepis but I'd really rather have the OS built around the Gnome enviroment... than install it and have no support; as no one would know what to do, being they are KDE enthusiasts.
Oh well... can't wait to try out Ubuntu!! :)
Hi Ronnie.
Glad to see you here and hope you enjoy your experience with Ubuntu. It's a great distro and GNOME 2.8 is fantastic.
Was using Fedora Core 2. Currently finding Ubuntu much better.
