It works really well with modern hardware. Can the live CD install be altered to work just like a normal Gentoo system? I have managed to get my hands on a 16GB flash drive, and am thinking of trying it out.

Amazingly easy. On bootup it is asking for a login and password, I do not know what the default is for the live CD, so I just left login and password as blank. Logs in without problem. Did CTL/ALT/F1 to get to a prompt and set a root password, and then back into the GUI using CTL/ALT/F7 to get back in and all seems OK. Took a quick look at the make.conf and it shows the standard message that I am working using the Live CD and not to make changes there. Not much else yet tried. Have Fun, Sean
