I thought that -O3 was a bad thing to do when compiling(it must be good for somthing but i thought -O2 was the safe option)?

So, to start off. What distros are used by most of you, since I don't wanna start using a distro I can't get help for. Plus, I don't know which Distro would be best suited for a homeuser/developer/gamer.
Im running Gentoo. this is a good one if you're already into linux, or want to know a lot about 'bare-bones' system configuration, and everything is built from source. This means ive got a 10-20% spped advantage on the same hardware as everything is built for the athlon-tbird with -03 optimisations (-02 being normal, and binary distros are usually built for either a 486 or 686)
This is irrelevent for a newbie tho, i suggest using some distro that holds your hand... what language(s) do you write in? gentoo obviously has a good build environment, but i dont know about the big distros...
