At the place where I work, there are a couple of blokes that use linux too, when I told them that I use Gentoo and even that it is by far the best distro I have used IMHO, they immediately said something like this:
"What? you use Gentoo? Oh, so you use it just because you want to compile the kernel yourself! Just because *you can do it*!!! And gave me that look of amusement... Of course it is sad to see that there is ignorance even among some linux users too. What they don't realize is that in my relatively short experience in the "light side" I have used several distros before Gentoo: Mandrake, Debian and Slackware. Gentoo has some kind of reputation...
