    Gentoo seems to be for people to play around with Linux (which can be good), but if you prefer to work on your Linux workstation, I'd recommend either Debian or Redhat. The bleeding edge aint a good choice if you want stability.
    The Gentoo users I know are like wow, 214% faster, cause I compiled dhcpd myself, optimized for my P4! and sometimes like rats, I hosed my productive system with the kernel update again!
