So... who wants to tell these guys about gentoo? You build gentoo from the ground up, starting off with just the most basic build system required to compile software. Different components can be installed depending on settings, with support for these components built into every other component that supports it. Using the graphical use flag editor, ufed, I've set my USE setting to the following:
USE="acpi amd autofs bidi canna cjk cscope cups curl dga dnd dv dvd dvdr \
I admit I went a little overboard playing with settings, but as you can see it's quite simple to have complete control over every little detail in gentoo.
