The most obvious community-driven Linux. This is a blessing and a curse; the stable versions are rock solid but can become outdated quickly. However, [Debian] has almost everything available for Linux available with one command (apt-get). Don't be put off the by name of the 'Unstable' branch though, that means that the packages are constantly changing, and you can update to the latest versions of all your installed software very easily (see FlavoursOfDebian). [Debian]'s PackageManagement is binary based.
[Gentoo]::
For those who want total control of their system. There are (almost) no binary [Package]s, ''everything'' is compiled from SourceCode. There is currently no installation program, either. You have to set the system up yourself. You don't have to be an überhacker or technical genius, but you the time and will to read the (very detailed and good) documentation, and the energy to follow through.
