Saying Gentoo-incompatible I mean that user will be migrated from m$win (I 
force this migration, but have not opportunity to admin a system often), 
and she isn't too young to learn new technical things (seventy years old). 
All these mean, I'm finding a distro with (besides 'net not hungry') 
simplest and minimal maintaining, though without any tuning capabilities 
also, which is (one of the main) a reason we use Gentoo.
