You guessed right, mostly. It's also so that when people say "why don't
you use Debian" I can have something to say other than "I've never tried

Both somewhat weak answers, but part of the Linux culture seems to be
trying new things out, eh?
And there never seems to be an end to the old machines that can be
resurrected by Linux.
Gentoo (about 6 months and
loving it).
The main thing I love about gentoo (other than the geek
factor) is the emerge facility, which I gather I get about
the same with debian's apt-get. So I thought I should try
it.
"At the risk of straying even further off-topic, can I ask
what you " ;-) , may I ask you why you want to drop Gentoo
and use Debian (guess: compile times :) ?
