There have been many articles as of late about the so called "source" distributions of Linux. Articles about "rpm hell" and how to get out of it. While I have been using Red Rat since the first release (and do have some things for and against it) there is no distribution that will please all of the people all of the time. Then again, that is what makes an OS like Linux nice, in my opinion. Choices. Today, Gentoo Linux is my choice.

I like the idea of Gentoo, and I think their documentation is very nice.
The two negative things about Gentoo is that it is still in flux and it takes too long to install.
Once they release a stable build (like Debian's potato) that isn't going to change much, Gentoo will be much more desirable to me.
I know that the system is fast once it is installed, but I am constantly changing what's on my two main systems because my job changes all the time. I need a distro that I can install quickly. Two days for a base system is a little too slow for me.
