At the risk of being offensive, I'd say there just isn't much reason to
go with Gentoo over another Debian based OS such as Ubuntu.  You can
still recompile or update whatever you want, but you don't have to deal
with the wait/hassle of building the whole system from scratch.  There
are much more exciting things going on in other places as well.

The problem with troubleshooting is that trouble shoots back. ---
