I've been wanting to try Gentoo for some time, but always had to roll my eyes at the pages and pages of installation instructions. This time, however, I rolled up my sleeves and buckled down. Minutes later, I was on my way.

It seems that most of the problems came from an
unwillingness to read the documentation.
Gentoo is all about learning. especially a stage 1 install which serves almost no purpose than learning about how the system was built.
For installing KDE you should have read the Desktop guide and if you were expecting a functional workstation on your first install then using the stage3 tarball and the prebuild binary packages is highy recommanded.
Gentoo is really easy to use, once you have done the nescesary reading, because if anything goes wrong you will know how to fix it.
The wonderful Gentoo community will welcome you back anytime.
