People who're new to Linux, especially naturally unexperienced teens will have
a rough time if they try gentoo linux. Even if they learn fast.. especially
the fact that you need a whole day to have a running installation kills
motivation.
I find Sabayon linux very useful, it offers a complete pre-installation, you
can modify it afterwards. The perfect os with a rapid beginning. :-)
