You may want to consider Sabayon - it's a prebuilt version of Gentoo that installs like Ubuntu/Fedora/etc, and has the whole box and dice preinstalled (Open Office, KDE/Gnome, etc, etc). I played with it for a while and quite liked it. I pretty quickly got over the time it takes for Gentoo-like systems to compile packages, but if you have a network of machines you can setup distcc to distribute and speed up the builds. I've gone back to Ubuntu because I'm travelling and know it better than Gentoo.
