I concur, not only does gentoo have one of the nicer communities, it also has more informed people. ( probably releated to it being a generally harder distro to use that *cough* ewwbuntu *cough* unlinspired *cough* or *cough* deadrat *cough* ) Many a time you'll find in non gentoo help rooms that everyones just as lost as you are when you have a /real/ problem, and when you have a /real/ problem you'll end up fixing it yourself after helping 50 other people fix theirs.
