Aaah no, I have plenty of experience of them (well not plan9 or 
GNU/Hurd) but I want a change to one new desktop and not lots of them as 
I have work that needs to get done, I just want something that I can 
play with in my spare time also :)

I am leaning towards Gentoo at the moment but I tried it a version or 
two back and it broke something quite nastily on my system, although I 
think I could attribute this possibly to Grub. The only thing with 
Gentoo is that it is a Linux and I don't know if it will really give me 
much to do with it although I am hoping that if i do go that way 
building an optimised system may give me a little extra speed.
