I spent some time with Gentoo, too. Gentoo is similar to Linux from Scratch, in that you have to build everything. I spent more time, just trying to do the basic stuff on Gentoo, then I ever spent with any other distro. Dozens and dozens and dozens of hours, just trying to get a decent, working system.
In the end, I realized that building everything from scratch is an interesting educational exercise, but it isn't really practical for most people, including me. There is a reason that a lot of people and time are put into individual distributions. It takes a TON of knowhow to build something really good. Honestly, I don't have the time and expertise to build something half as good as any of the readily-available distributions. My two cents...
