i forgot to mention, though, about the compile time for gentoo...i only use stage1 installs.
that is the "from scratch" install.
stage2 and stage3 install like fedora or mandrake. they come pre-compiled to work on "any" system and include software like window managers (kde, gnome), office, etc.
those take far less time to get a working system up.
the "which distro" argument is just as zealous as any mac vs. pc, firefox vs. ie, art vs. design debate.
in the end, what works for one user may not work for another.
but, then that is the beauty of linux...choice. i prefer gentoo. my colleague prefers fedora.
you can have it either way.
and hell, if you don't like either and you're a good programmer...roll your own kernel and system.
that's why there are 100+ distro's out there. people make changes and offer up their version.
