that is better?
If you're a beginner and/or have limited time, gentoo is a really *bad*
idea.
I'd suggest a binary-based distro, with an easy installer, and a
package manager with automatic dependency resolution. Mandrakelinux 10
+ contribs or + Thac's RPMS, or the combination of RedHat/Fedora +
Planet CCRMA packages would proabably be best.
Debian has a great package manager, but crappy installer. SuSe is vice
Debian installer isn't that bad, it's just not pretty to look at. If he got
Gentoo installed, he'll feel positively coddled by the Debian installer.
The other options you suggest are popular.
