In my never ending search for the ultimate challenge, I decided to remove Gentoo Linux from my trusty laptop and install something else that wasn't as resource starving. Thus, Debian was selected.

Gentoo is one of the most configurable distributions out there! Everything can be installed from source for crying out loud!
But who wants to spend a whole week compiling it on an old box? And that is just for installation. What about updates? Or when you want to install a new webrowser? Do you want to wait 3 long days for that box to compile that? When you can just grab the binary package and in less then a minute already have been browsing the net by then? Wow you can compile stuff from source! Can't you do that in most(if not all) Linux distros? Nothing special there man.
