I have to give you that one :) Getting Gentoo going did involve some fun 
and games. I was over it, and then tried Mandrake (work) and am so 
running from RPMs again :) *hides from all the Mandrake users*.

At any rate, as a FreeBSD user by choice, I'm quite happy to muddle 
around to get my compile stuff working. I only run Linux for the 
applications, personally I prefer a BSD box.
