Good luck with that. All I have to say about Gentoo is be careful with compiler flags going a little too crazy and ports (or whatever they call them, I forget) getting out of sync.
Would be nice to get UV on FreeBSD but it seems to work beautifully on Windows.. no complaints so far =) Microsoft apparently put enough hard work into Windows to turn it from the toy that was NT4 into a robust OS suitable for enterprise use (didn't think I'd ever say that 8 years ago...)
