I mentioned it took me a week because I was working and preparing for a presentation. I am not your average user as are those who decide to choose Gentoo, Sidux, or Arch. We just like to fiddle around. I hear a lot of people complaining about compiling or messing with the configurations. Yeah, go with Ubuntu if you want but if a problem arises and it can't be solved, who do they turn to for help? Yep, the Gentoo community even today. Sent you an email. Talk to you soon. Kevin Hey Urko,

I mean, come on, one full week to get a fully stable desktop... Don't take me wrong, I totally undestand that you enjoy the challenge, and the warm feeling of success when you get it to work. But it's easy to see why most people would go for something like Ubuntu for day to day. I just don't have the time to tackle something like what you describe right now, and so Ubuntu makes my life easy, when "it just works" :) Congratulations in your successful installation, in any case. Does it feel faster? Which again comes to show that you definitely don’t choose Gentoo for stability. I mean, come on, one full week to get a fully stable desktop…
