Not to perpetuate the could-be war here, but Gentoo's portage system does 
have a few bugs in it. I can't currently emerge cups, as it's busted.  
There's a few other things that are broken, but man. I like it 	*so* much 
better than debian. Whoo!  I have debian at work (and my gentoo 
workstation replaced my debian workstation) and it's a lot better.   I 
adore the portage system.  I run gentoo on my web/mail/db server ath ome, 
and it's been wonderful.  It's nice.  I almost prefer it over slackware 
(which is my all time fav so far).x
