I'm currently running a Debian Linux system.  I'd like to move over to
gentoo, but I'm not exactly sure what the easiest way would be.
Mainly from the perspective of partitions: I have separate partitions
for root, boot, home, var, tmp and usr.  I want to wipe all those
clean, except for home, and install gentoo.

Should I just manually remove everything from all my partitions
(except home)?  Or will gentoo do that for me during installation?  If
the latter case is true, how do I keep /home from getting erased?

One more semi-related question: to make sure I understand this
conceptually, using a "stage 3" install should get me up and running
the most quickly, but I can still custom-compile most (or all?) of the
stage 3 programs, right?

Thanks for your feedback!
Matt
