Sweet jesus yes i am

Gentoo and Ubuntu are almost completely different. Most of gentoo is
always built and compiled from scratch, whereas Ubuntu is generic.

Gentoo compiles EVERYTHING, whilst ubuntu uses generic installation
packages.

Gentoo is highly more modable, and in most cases faster.

thats only the start :P
