[gentoo-dev] Anyone appreciate this VERY dumb idea....

["KH c" <linuxlivecd@yahoo.com.hk>]

Hello all Gentoo developer,
  I get an (maybe dumb) idea: Gentoo is VERY OPTIMIZE
for your hardware because you have to compile one
program by another, and manual fix any problem happen.
It is a turn off for Linux newbie even though s/he has
a lot of patience. Is there a way to comprise?
  Assuming the user has a lot time and no trouble
happen inbetween.
  I would suggest how about writing an intelligent
installer that will automatically check dependency,
download it and install it like urpmi in Manadrake or
apt-get in Debian so even new user can enjoy the
benefit of optimization WITHOUT the hardwork? i.e. I
want to install X, just tell the program and it will
take care of the whole process for me. Is it possible?
  Or how about a pre-written scipt that will do the
compile process for different type of pre-set usage
like Desktop, Mutimedia, Networking, Internet? i.e. It
is not a pre-installed package, it is a pre-set
packager that will do the packaging right in front of
the user's eye. Each user get the same package and
script yet it is OPTIMIZE for their computer after
they install it. What do you think about this idea?

Thanks of your attention
