This guy kashani has a remarkable understanding of linux and networking aside from the current thread.

I've only done the discriminating based on other people's non use of Gentoo. :-)
Actually mentioning Gentoo was a good way of getting past the "so have you ever heard of Linux" conversations I ran into last time I went to a LUG. I will admit that this particular LUG was populated by some serious dyed in the wool longhair-ed hippie types complete with oddball PhD's in dead languages. Having had a haircut that month it was apparently impossible that I actually already used Linux so I was offered a live CD, numerous times, by the same people. It finally stopped when I said:
"Thanks for the Ubuntu disk, but I use Gentoo."
