Just thought i'd take the time to comment on how thoroughly impressed I am 
with gentoo.  I'm by no means a linux guru, however i have installed and 
fooled around with a variety of Free OS's including OpenBSD, FreeBSD, 
Debian Woody, Redhat 7/2, mandrake 7&8 (I think those were the versions) 
and slackware 8.  the only reason I never stuck with one of them is 
because there was always a couple peices of software that iwanted that i 
couldn't get working properly.  I installed Gentoo just yesterday 
afternoon and i've already got everything that i want installed and 
running properly.  I love the ports-style package management (although i 
would have been up and running alot quicker if I didn't have to compile 
kde3!! :)  as someone who is trying to find a viable alternative OS, i can 
assure you that the best thing about gentoo is that i can install 
virtually anything i can think of extremely easily, and its all up to date 
software, its similar to what Iliked about debian, but if you want 
software thats more recent that 1998 you have to use an unstable branch, 
which is terribly hard to work with.

Keep up the good work!
Andre
