My problem with Gentoo is that even for its design, I have not had
good luck with it.  Of course, I'm particular and try to make it do my
bidding given the documentation which has been written.
It's design is amazingly cool, and I appreciate some of the best
written documentation for installing mainly from scratch.
Currently I'm playing with Sorcerer's Linux, a similar concept.  We'll
see how things play out as I try to bend it to my will :)

The dependency-handling is supposedly great.  Perhaps my experiences
used too old a boot-CD's and caused problems.  Perhaps the people
testing Gentoo don't use KDE much, nor all the other things I
"USE"-d.  I don't know.  Perhaps I'll try 2005.1 again.
VMWare is proving rather nice for testing systems.  I had hung it up a
couple years ago, but the company just bought me 4.5.2 and it has been
quite valuable on my faster/memory-full laptop.
