Just to beat the h8ers to the punch:

• Gentoo lets stupid people compile their own kernels. Stupid people ask us questions on IRC. We forget that we were stupid once too so Gentoo is stupid.
• Smarter people use Debian. RMS is really really smart. Proof? He uses Debian. QED.
• Gentoo lets you set compiler optimizations. Compiler optimizations won't make things 5x as fast. So they are stupid.
• Gentoo has USE flags. USE flags are for packages that can't even decide what parts they should have. Forget them.
• Gentoo's default editor is nano. Nano is for pussies. Proof? My college roommate used nano and he was a pussy.
• Gentoo makes you compile stuff. Who's got time for that? There's no way to get binary packages from portage so it sucks.
• Gentoo's mascot is a cow. Cows are herbivores. Herbivores are stupid. Proof? Pamela Anderson is a herbivore.
• Penguins and gnus can beat up cows. So can whatever mascot slackware has.
• Gentoo doesn't use xinetd. Xinetd is the only way to let your serverz connect to the interweb. I need my servers to connect to the interweb so I don't want Gentoo.

Calling the user "you hoser"? I know Gentoo is a hobbyists distro but c'mon, should at least maintain a level of professionalism.

Take off, eh!
