Don't get me wrong, I think gentoo is great. Total uber optimized system
if you build completely from scratch. With 2.6test5 compiled with
preemptibility etc etc I couldn't believe the performance I got out of
kde. Outstanding.

Am currently playing with redhat and apt4rpm. Apt is a cool tool. Built
a system with mythtv (www.mythtv.org), found a guide to do it from an
apt source. Double good.

Bye.

For the install certainly, but then IME it need considerably less poking
than 
many other solutions. If you don't want to keep up with a moving target
(ie 
latest and greatest releases of everything) it of course requires no 
maintainance* at all, just like all other Linux distros.

*Bar security patches.
