I second this sentiment.  Since starting to use Gentoo in 2004, all
other distros pale in comparison.  Yes, there have been a couple of
hurdles, but it was all learning.  I view these, not as annoyances, but
challenges.  I love what I have learned about my system with Gentoo and
there is *no* other distro that has a package management system that is

Thirded (smile).


Fourth one here...

Gentoo has been one of the most rewarding linux experiences that I've had in 
years. The only thing that even comes close is LFS... but then upgrading it 
is a nightmare.

I was preparing to install LFS but was told that Gentoo is LFS with a neat little package handler on steroids. They were right too. :-) I moved here from Mandrake 9.1.

I couldn't imagine surfing without Gentoo.
