This one was hilarious! (And very true in some ways!) Actually, I'm a 
Gentoo user on my laptop, but a CCRMA user on my older soft-synth box. I 
like Gentoo alot, but not for the reasons most people give. It's not 
faster in my experience. It doesn't have someone like Fernando 
sheparding new apps and new users along. There's much confusion about 
which kernel to use. (Did you do the CCRMA kernel Chris?) I do find that 
raw code from the net builds more often on Gentoo than on Redhat, and 
it's much easier to solve a dependency problem on Gentoo, but it's not 
that Gentoo doesn't have dependeny problems. It does.

If I'm the sinking ship at the end of this page then so be it... ;-)
