For example, I first built a Gimp without jpeg support. Who the fuck would want Gimp without the ability to even open jpg files? That's stupid. This is the default unless you explicitly add jpeg to the USE variable.
This is what happens when you don't use the desktop profile. Run `eselect profile list` and then `eselect profile set NUMBER`, where NUMBER is the number of the desktop profile. Also, you need to recompile your packages if you want your new USE flags to take any effect. Try `emerge --ask --tree --verbose --update --newuse --deep world` next time.
I still haven't figured out how I'm supposed to keep track of what USE flags I want or do not want to use (these can affect other packages both now and in future).
USE flags are probably the main reason I use Gentoo. Are the 10 minutes needed to read the online portage documentation too much for you? Tip: see/etc/make.conf,/etc/portage/package.use and euse.
Sorry, but you really need to RTFM if you want to get the most out of Gentoo.

Don't forget Drupal modules. Themes and modules don't magically appear from the void, somebody writes them, and this requires an editor.
