As a gentoo user and contributor I can say make sure you are using a current valid profile for your platform and make sure you properly configured your /etc/make.conf.
There are many advantages to running Gentoo. 1st off it's compiled and optimized for your architecture, this means it's extremely fast! Second... IN PLACE OS upgrades are awesome and work well. If your are a newbie then I suggest first download a live cd or dvd for your architecture. Hit the gentoo website read up on how to install, if you have any questions someone is always willing to help through the gentoo forums. Gentoo isn't meant to be an "easy" install. For those of us who are tech savy there are many benfits from utilizing this distribution. I currently use gentoo on: AMD PPC AMD64bit PPC 64bit Efika Embedded Controller I'd like to see an Open source version of UV. IBM forgot that Linux runs on myany platforms. My Linux servers at home are all PPC. If I was going to play with uv at home I'd run it on one of my servers. My PPC servers have Mysql 5.0 (evolving nicely!)

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...)
