Talking Gentoo?

[dking at pimpsoft.com]

I have friends who swear by Gentoo, but I have yet to find a speakup 
enabled version of its install; From what I understand the initial 
install of a gentoo system is even more straining then a debian 
install, but just as with debian makes up with it when maintaining 
it.

Gentoo is in fact much more bleeding edge then debian ever will be, 
from what I understand they often use direct cvs code in there 
builds.
