[...] Sorry for breaking-in to your discussion. I want to confirm that through my small experience with Ubuntu and osgeo-tools, I have seen several times segfault problems. Things are really better when compiling from source. About the "Gentoo and user-friendly" argument: it could use a ";-)" smiley :-). FWIW: Seriously, I don't doubt about it being *real user-friendly*. But most people tend to identify user-friendly systems as systems that just work out-of-box. Since there are different views it is necessary to define what one understands as *user-friendly* and what not. Anyhow, I think that Gentoo, is definitely NOT for a new-comer in the FOSS4G field.
