The only downside to Gentoo that I've found is that it takes

Look at man emerge and the portage docs for what the above does, and how
to make it permanent.
Critical apps seem to take a bit longer to get to stable, but the above
will often get you a more updated version, albeit at a higher risk of
problems.

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS done on the command line is a very poor idea,
use /etc/portage/package.use instead.
I forget the specifics, but I have seen a system run into serious
problems and library screwups

Its ok for a quick check - especially as I dont want ~x86 samba on that
system.
I regard /etc/portage and the way it has been done is a disaster waiting
to happen. You have files hidden away in there that unless you make the
effort, can (and do) keep insecure versions of software on your
Bill, have you used RPMs G. Then you will appreciate portage G. When
I came to Gentoo from Caldera it was such a relief not to have to use
RPMs! It's never faltered on me and the ~arch keeps unstable stuff out
of my sight unless
I chose it.
