I like, even love, Gentoo. Thing is, if it gets to where it doesn't
work like it should for me, there's no point in me using it. If I
wanted a OS that doesn't work well for me, I'd be buying M$'s crap.
Hey, it does install fairly fast but it is pretty crappy. LOL
I have said this about meeting a new lady, time tells. If I get to the
point where I have to use a init thingy and I can't get one to work,
Gentoo is no longer for me. Working is a must have thing for my OS. I
don't mind putting in the effort to have a great install or putting in
the effort to update it but it has to boot and work.
