Distros - 3 Words

[bones]

Just a silly/fun/stupid game...

Yeah, they're all Linux, but what three words (give or take) come to your mind to describe the following major distros:

1) Debian
2) Mageia/Mandriva
3) RedHat/Fedora/CentOS
4) openSUSE
5) Arch
6) Slackware
7) Gentoo

My answers:

1) Ubiquitous, stable, politics
2) French
3) My first Linux (RedHat)
4) Green, German, slow
5) Pacman, borkage, aloof
6) Solid, stable, simple
7) Compile, USEFLAGS, portage
