Awwwww. But I want to make you do a 6 hour minimum install!
Actually, I agree. Gentoo is not a good choice for an installfest. It's
a great distro, but it's for enthusiasts who have too much time on there
hands, or who are like me, and just love it. :)
Gentoo is also for people like me who want all the latest stuff to work
well together. In my experience, most of the problems with binary
packages are due to subtle library incompatibilities. Gentoo seems to
eliminate that whole class of bugs. Thus Gentoo actually saves me the
time I used to spend chasing down library mismatches.
