Which Flavour

[catch22]

I have been using ubuntu for a while now, but want to change to a different distro due to a few issues that i have been having.
I have tried suse in the past but find it to bulky and slow to startup.

So the question is which distro would be the best for me to move onto to move my linux knowledge onto the next step.

I have been looking at pclinux, fedora or mandriva.

thanks for that, i have printed off the handbook (looks like a headache) and will try to install gentoo when i get home
