I like it. I haven't stretched it out, yet, though. I haven't tried the wireless capabilities. I am still constructing an Intel Gentoo server at home, have Gentoo on the PowerBook, and put Gentoo on a Sony VAIO (Intel) at work. So I have a small familiarity with it. But I haven't really started adding special programs. The PB comes with so much available already that I use the Gentoo as a method of exchanging files with my local network. Compilation on the PB seems a bit slow (for a 1GHz CPU), but no where near as bad as the PI 650MHz. I haven't had the nerve to see if cross-compiling will work with different processor types. I am learning more with Gentoo than with other distros. Yes, it takes time, but it also teaches.
