I do.

Not since 2002, when I installed my main system. That's a testament to how 
well a Gentoo system can run and be kept up-to-date, despite being 
source-based.

If you don't know what you doing, however, you can easily mess things up. I've 
found Gentoo to be a wonderful way to learn about the innards of the OS. I 
make the odd mistake from time to time, but I learn a lot in the process of 
fixing them.

If you want a system to tinker with and learn, or if you want to stay on the 
bleeding-edge, I wholeheartedly recommend Gentoo. Otherwise, you might be 
better off with a binary-based distro.
