Gentoo question

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I have a partition with user accounts and all my stuff, whihc is not in any
OS partition. I typically make a partition for the OS itself, putting the
whole OS in the one partition. Selecting the partition gets me the OS. 
Caldera, as an example, lets me put the partitions how I want. I was just
wondering to what extent Gentoo allows this as well.
