So I went ahead and installed Gentoo, starting from stage 3 and using many of the new precompiled packages such as OpenOffice, KDE, Mozilla, and it's a lot faster than starting from the very begining. I had it up and running in about 5 or 6 hours.
But I have two problems to deal with.
When booting up, which is at least 10 times faster than my red hat installation, I get a modprobe error, which says it cannot locate module mousedev. Why not? Where is it? What must I do to put it where it will be found?
The other problem is that my usb mouse does not work. I used genkernel to automaticaly decide what to compile into the kernel, so I assume it would have detected the usb ports and added all related modules. Hotplug has been emerged.
Any help here would be appreciated.
