Gentoo is very cool, tbh.. I used to really love it, but waiting for the 
KDE to compile etc was just too much to wait for specially once my 
daughter was born and hardly no time to get things done anyway.  So 
kinder went back to a binary distro to get things updated quicker may 
have to check out Saybayon thou.. cheers.

Cheers may see you on one of the meetings.
