I did my first Gentoo installation with help from Nick. My second installation
was done almost completely by myself.
The point is: If I can do it, anyone with a couple of years Linux experience
should be able to do it. The documentation is very good IMHO and covers
everything with good explanat

Agreed. That's why I'll use a distro I know for some bits of the system.

Gentoo is a proper pain to set up, in fact it's currently impossible to
install it if you don't have a 'Net connection, but once you have a working
system it's a dream to use and administer. ATM they are suffering from
'growing pains' to some extent.
