And I *could* be a grandfather if only I'd had kids when regular
sane people have them, but I didn't, and now my son's only 9 so
I get to wait another 10 years at least...
But back to topic. Colleen's answer seems to me pretty
representative of why most folk do Gentoo, myself included.
With one extra reason - I'm a total propellor-head and Gentoo
lets me fiddle all day long to my heart's content; and when I
break it, Gentoo lets me fix it.
