[Nolug] Gentoo?

Hey y'all,

I'm considering doing a fresh Linux install (my current system is SuSE 7.2,
which was installed almost 2 years ago, and upgraded 1 year ago to SuSE 7.3
). Who has run Gentoo, and what are your thoughts about it? Mostly I want to
hear from those who have been running Linux for a couple of years or more...
the opinion of a newbie ("I just dual-booted my Windoze XP box last week, and
Gentoo is great!") doesn't really interest me --- no offense, mind you --- I
simply want a seasoned evaluation:-)

To give you an idea of where I'm coming from, I also use NetBSD, and always
compile apps instead of "pkg_add ftp://path/to/binary". Since Gentoo's
portage is taken from BSD ports, I'm interested in whether Gentoo will give
me any justice.

Thanks.
