Yeah, I think its great! I would buy the t-shirts if I wasn't so far away! Once you get it well configured, its nice, its fast, its Gentoo!!! I've been "migrating" a lot of users after showing my own box to them, and most say the same, Gentoo is a learning experience, people start installing it and end up knowing a LOT about Linux. I don't mind answering noob questions, even if the answer would be a RTFM or point them to a web search, as long as people use it, have fun and learn with it. Most of them will come back and their experiences will help others. Add the fact that the most different hardware/software combinations we get, the most people will have an answer when asking the list, because someone out there had some similar issue long ago and fixed it somehow.
