I am new to Gentoo and so far, I am *very* impressed. It has been very well 
thought out. I had avoided it for a long time because I did not relish the 
thought of compiling everything from source. After reading the install 
docs, I found out that one can compile as much or as little as one desires. 
There is something called GRP (Gentoo Reference Platform) which is 
essentially  binaries of all the things that one can compile from source. 
Gentoo's package management system, Portage, works fine with either source 
or binary. As it turned out, I compiled everything from source anyway since 
I really did not need the system that I was installing on to be available 
very quickly. It was very painless, I learned many new tricks, and 
OpenOffice is as fast on the first launch on that system as MS Office is. 
Nice! So, you can now count me as a "Gentoo freak":)
