I admit that a lot of it has to do with my patience, but doing any level of "build from source" to get the initial system up and running is loaded with opportunities to screw up. And this is coming from a person that has been hacking Unix one way or another for 15+ yrs.

cringe!?!?!???!!!! CRINGE?!! :-PThanks for the replies. I saw the posts you mention on the mailing list. This will be a good way to help me keep my technical edge in Linux, even though my Debian specific hacker prowess is what I consider limited. Years of Redhat and Mandrake have softened me (which is why I started playing with Debian and *cringe* Gentoo last yr).

Yeah, I don't get that either, care to explain why you think that?
Anyway, thats just been my experience in the past. Being the distro junkie that I am, I'll likely revisit Gentoo again before the year is out.
