Thank heaven for Gentoo ;)

Steve,
How does Gentoo do a better job of this than Debian? Does it use Debian
packages? Is the difference between Ubuntu, Debian and Gentoo lie in the
strength of their package archives?

Don't get me wrong, Ubuntu is a great way to install a distro, quick and
slick every single time, and I do have friends who run it successfully
w/o issue. However MY experience with it post-install has not been very
pleasant. As for Debian, I have never been able to get Debian to run on
any box I've tried it on. With Gentoo, once you get past the initial
install has always been a breeze for me.
But then you must also remember last time I went distro hopping, I had
been using FreeBSD as my desktop OS for about 2-3 years and got fed up
with not having Java, so I set out to find the most FreeBSD like distro
I could find.
Maybe thats why I'm such a Gentoo FanBoy ;)
