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.

Removed Gentoo for Debian? Resource starving eh?
I have seen this all before. If anyone has a reasonable machine (>1Ghz) that can handle the compiling of Gentoo within reason (You only have to do it once I tell you), and you know what you want from Linux (a seasoned user) then run Gentoo. The base GUI install (base + X + Window Manager) can be tar.gz and burnt to CD for other installs - as long as you don't compile for P4 and load it on a P2. Keeping everything up to date is not that hard. Have portage renice compiles to a conservative level and keep working!
But, if you are a Linux user that likes going through distros like underpants and like to stick the toe in the linux pond for fun - leave Gentoo alone and come back another year when you are sick of the others.
