Can anyone help me find a good distro ?

I'm looking for a highly optimized Linux distro but that is also easy to install, configure, and use. I've tried to install Gentoo in the past, but it was such a pain in the ass. Maybe I'll try again ? I hear Arch is pretty good (i686 optimized), but that the packages are not updated regularly and some are broken. Looks like Gentoo is a better choice in that regard. But how long does Gentoo take to install ? I mean it has to compile everything from source doesn't it ?

WMD:
I installed Gentoo once, on a P3/650.  I was only able to do stuff during a class period at school, but I could leave it to compile overnight.  It took a school week before everything, including KDE, was functional.  I could've probably done it in 2-3 days on that same machine if I had access to it 24/7.

H_TeXMeX_H:
Shit, I don't have that kind of time, and only one computer. Maybe an i686-optimized distro is better, I'm looking around for a decent one right now ... one that doesn't take forever to install.

Pathos:
My mate install gentoo overnight on a AMD athlon 1600+

You also have a much more powerful computer than what I did it on.
