Ran accros this at OSnews..
It's a review of the Gentoo from a Slackware user..
Kinda the same experience I've had
And I've been using Slackware longer then 'Steve Husted' has..

I've been wanting to try Gentoo for some time, but always had to roll my eyes at the pages and pages of installation instructions. This time, however, I rolled up my sleeves and buckled down. Minutes later, I was on my way.

At this point, let me ward off the flames: I didn't like Gentoo. We'll get to why in a minute. But if you like Gentoo, then great! Another one joins the Linux Army, another domino down for the Redmond beast, another win for freedom to use your computer as you see fit. Stop reading now and go use your OS. Go on. Shoo!
Waiting for the first Gentoy fanboy(or girl) to comment..
