I gotta tell you, I've never had anything but trouble from Debian 
distros.  kubuntu is fine, but I'm not a huge fan of debians packaging 
and management of configuration files.  Opinion only.

But I love Gentoo.  No upgrade cycle, good.  Long compile times, not so 
good for a server, okay for a desktop if you don't mind the wait for a 
new version of something.

In all honesty, I've found yum (and RPM) to be the best package manager 
out there that doesn't require you to compile your packages at need.

FWIW.
