I just finished the travelling same path at the grandparent (RedHat - Mandrake - Gentoo - Debian). I was able to set up in a day with Debian what I struggled with for three weeks with Gentoo - namely a server with Apache, PHP, mod_auth_ldap and MySQL. PHP wanted Apache2, while mod_auth_ldap wanted Apache1.3, etc. etc. Mucho dependancy problems, even with something this simple. Portage is a very good system, but it still needs some refinement before I would trust Gentoo with a production server. If I was setting up a desktop (for myself) I would probably give Gentoo a try in that role.
