Well put. With Ubuntu, it's trivial to install one of the 2 or 3 pre-set configurations and then do the set of N things that the Ubuntu developers thought you would want to do. As soon as you stray from that pre-cooked set of configurations and tasks, things quickly get a _lot_ more difficult. With Gentoo, it's a little more work, but you can do what _you_ want to and and you don't have to stick to the configurations and tasks that the developers have already thought of. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
