I've never seen the point in Gentoo

My opinion is that Gentoo is for those who place no value on their free time. I tried the version discussed above and it took over 10 hours to compile Gnome, I eventually gave up. Surely any performance benefits gained from compiling from source are lost during the tedious installation process??

The one thing Gentoo has got right is it's documentation, the Gentoo Wiki and installation guide is really outstanding, hugely detailed and informative.
