Go and do it !!! I think that's the best way to learn. Maybe you'll have
to learn a lot of things to be able to configure correctly your system,
but if you have some time, then, after this, you'll surely know a lot
more about Linux.

Just don't forget to read the gentoo docs and in case of trouble:
http://www.tldp.org/ for checking the howto's wich are also a great
ressource when you have problem configuring something.

Hope you'll enjoy your time installing gentoo ;)
