>From what I know, you should compare Gentoo with FreeBSD - it works in much the same way.

Not unless you are talking about keeping up with FreeBSD-CURRENT. Installing
a FreeBSD RELEASE version is not any more difficult or time-consuming
than installing SlackWare or Debian.

Okay, I didn't know that, but I wasn't specifically talking about the installation, I was more thinking about portage.
