    Say what you will, but gentoo is always on the cutting edge, and the community built around it is top notch.

    I always enjoy reading installation instructions like for example mythtv.

    They will have subsections:
    Redhat... 100 lines of instructions
    Debian... 150 lines of instructions
    Gentoo... 2 lines, emerge sync, emerge mythtv

    And it turned out it was about that easy, although getting my ati card working was another matter entirely.

    That's just classy.
