This is probably a good idea, once I've got the whole system up  in chroot I can switch over to Gentoo.
I could even knock-up some bootable cd's with my own customised version.

People could upload, to some kindly donated server, their own customised Gentoo's with descriptions of optimisations, hardware and software 
packages so others could choose a well optimised "distribution". Of course many many different base versions would be needed to malke it 
useful.

Just a though :)
