I saw a French film a few months ago that sounds remarkably like what this new film of Cleese's is described as. check it out. It's actually about the discovery of murder, if I remember correctly, but it also has a major subplot involving one tribe that is evolved (that is, has shampoo) and another which is unevolved (no shampoo = dirty and ugly). Extremely over the top stuff.
I thought it was pretty funny, though I don't speak much French so it might have been funnier (or less funny, who knows) if it were in English.
From the POV of a college-aged male, your daughter sounds extremely attractive, but not exactly worthy of awe, much less terror. Gentoo's docs, for the most part, are very nice, and a stage 1 isn't that much harder than the other stages. Mostly, it just requires more waiting. I'll fall on my face and worship her when she's a kernel contributor.
Which is not to demean the achievement, of course; especially since further up you call her a non-technical user. Women who aren't afraid of tech are sexy as hell. I don't suppose she's going to school in Texas, is she?
To keep this on topic, I used to be a gentoo user, but now use an ibook almost exclusively. At work I use Ubuntu a lot, and the speed of using binaries instead of source packages is really cool. I know you can do binary installs with gentoo, as well, but I always felt that was kind of sacriligious.
I'm half inclined to think this whole daughter thing is a hoax, actually; a 19 year old female who installs gentoo and posts on/.? Too good to be true!
Those will burn metal. We used to burn things into the old cars hanging around the auto tech shop with the fresnel lens from the overhead.

Microgravity is the technical term for the gravity in space. There isnt actually zero gravity, there is always something exerting force on you. The weightlessness comes from being in orbit, not from the lack of any gravity.

A well tuned carburetor is just as good as fuel injection.
