*yawn* Do we have to go through this every friggin' time a Gentoo story is posted on /.? OMG I compiled my system with -O9 -ffast-math -ffuck-up-my-system and it's now 300% faster and 119% more stable. If you want that, go here.
That's not what Gentoo's about(at least to me). For me, it's a highly configurable Distro which leaves me in control and actually forces me to RTFM and learn something about what I am doing.
Additionaly, it's an excellent Server Distro. Before Gentoo I used Debian(which I really liked) on my tiny little webserver, but ended compiling stuff like PHP myself because I needed a feature or didn't need another. With Gentoo I am able to do this _within_ the package manager. It's also very easy to take a proactive stance at security or switching back and forth. And for all those of you complaining about the moving speed of the portage tree, which sometimes is too fast for a server sofware repository, wait till GLEP19 is implemented.
