This. Very much this. My dive into Gentoo came as I was fed up with
Debian and Ubuntu having buggy and/or outdated versions of multimedia

transcoding of h.264 to something my PS3 would like.
I came to Gentoo from Linux From Scratch because I wanted something more
user friendly when it came to keeping track of package dependencies and
compilation procedures.
That is how I describe Gentoo, Linux from Scratch with a package manager
and other neat tools. I think Gentoo is about as close to that as it
gets. We all know portage is getting really good and full of features
over the past few years. I may not agree with Zac on some recent
default settings but he sure has pushed portage a long long ways
forward. If only Gentoo could wash dishes now. File a feature request
on b.g.o? LOL
