That was pretty much my reaction, I prefer to work from source. Indeed, for the most part, I have to work from source. Most of my computers aren't x86 or AMD64. Once you stray from the x86 mainstream, your only real choices are Debian and Gentoo. Of the two, I prefer Gentoo. Or rather, for building from source for non-x86 systems, I prefer Portage over Apt.
I suppose I could use one distribution on my servers and a different one on my workstations, but that seems inefficient. It defeats some of the cross-platform appeal of using one distribution across 7 CPU architectures.
