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.

Zealotry!? How about dropping ignorance!?! If you mean by try compiling on older hardware the fact that it will take a while, then please state so. Otherwise this once again makes no sense! When you can pick what gets installed and what doesn't you will ALWAYS have a better tuned system no matter the age of the hardware.
How will Debian, Slackware or any other distribution be any different than Gentoo? They all use the same kernel and pretty much the same tools. Some just have more of them that come defualt than others.
