gentoo request

[Kyle]

According to covici at ccs.covici.com:
# At least in gentoo, you get things the way you want, not imposed by
# some dev somewhere.  To each his own.

Perhaps, but I tried a Gentoo installation, and although I eventually
did get it to run in qemu, I wasn't able to get things the way I wanted
them. I wanted the latest GNOME, but found it hard masked, so I
couldn't install anyting other than I believe 2 versions earlier. I
found that Arch was far easier to install, but also gave me the latest
GNOME if I wanted it, with no hard mask, whatever that meant, and if I
didn't want GNOME, I didn't have to have it. I found Arch to be the
most flexible and customizable with the least amount of hassle, even
though Gentoo is almost completely source based, which would lead to
the logical assumption that Gentoo should have been more customizable
overall.
