I have to mostly agree with his conclusion. Why did I stay with Gentoo, though ? Because since I've setup my system/hardware, I haven't lost a single service. I know how to enable them, keep them alive while my previous distro (Mandrake) would be great out of the box, but suddenly, something would stop working without having a single clue about how to fix it.

But for sure it took me at least a week to setup the system, without being able to spend a minute to do useful work. Not everyone is prepared to do this.
