Saying Gentoo-incompatible I mean that user will be migrated from m$win (I force this migration, but have not opportunity to admin a system often), and she isn't too young to learn new technical things (seventy years old). All these mean, I'm finding a distro with (besides 'net not hungry') simplest and minimal maintaining, though without any tuning capabilities also, which is (one of the main) a reason we use Gentoo.
