Certainly, although Gentoo does still have some major advantages, in that I can determine compile-time settings for a package without having to jump out of the package system. In my experience with Debian, if I want to do that, I can pull down the source DEB, but I have to manually build it. And updates aren't as transparent: if I want to keep those settings, I have to make sure I do the manual build of the updated package every time.

Although they may have changed it a bit since Woody.
