It's a steep learning curve with gentoo but I think it's worth it. I've not had a great amount of experience of other distros having used RH for years as a server then only over the past couple of years building my own LFS and then the logical progression seemed to be Gentoo when I wanted to migrate my workstations to linux. There are plenty of friendly folks hanging out on IRC always ready to help, plus with a heathly forum (albeit web based), couple of NNTP groups, excellent document and a stable quickly updated build tree, it makes for a very well rounded distribution that can be quite minimalist. Of course I guess debian and any other mainstream distro has all this.
