I know some people who had very few experience with Linux. But they
succeeded in installing Gentoo. And they learnt a lot by doing so. If
you installed Gentoo, you know Linux.
That's what I like about Gentoo. You know what you are doing, and many
integral parts are easier to understand than with another distro, where
things are hidden by GUI config tools.
But if you just want to have a Linux to play around with, go with a
binary distro. You can install Gentoo later if you like, even while
using the Linux you already have. If you have some space onthe disk to
add other partitions. Did I mention yet that LVM is nice for this?
