... and I forgot to mention that there are "Live CDs" available which can boot Gentoo Linux from a CD-ROM, without permanently modifying your hard disk; it includes a system similar to anaconda for auto-detecting lots of hardware.

This makes it far more simple to get a Gentoo system up and running.

Ok, I'm done. ;-)
