I didn't see a smiley. Are you serious?

I was planning on evaluating Gentoo. I've been a Slack user from the beginning
and use it on all of my machines, primarily because I understand it inside
and out. 

However in some ways it's showing its age. I find the emerge and apt-get
mechanisms interesting. Sometimes I have to fight to install software because
Slack doesn't have the supporting components installed.

I'd be interested in hearing opinions of gentoo especially from longtime Slack
users. I've been meaning to get a maching going with a gentoo install, but I 
just haven't found the time to get it rolling yet.
