People who're new to Linux, especially naturally unexperienced teens will have a rough time if they try gentoo linux. Even if they learn fast.. especially the fact that you need a whole day to have a running installation kills motivation. I find Sabayon linux very useful, it offers a complete pre-installation, you can modify it afterwards. The perfect os with a rapid beginning. :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
