It is very normal that you frequently see problems arise on the mailinglist |
| 8 |
but rarely successtories. This is because of human nature: we will swiftly |
| 9 |
ask/seek for help (and the Gentoo Mailinglists are a good place to ask for |
| 10 |
help) but rarely just mail to tell it works... |

Think of it: if you emerge 10 tools, and 9 of them work flawlessly, you won't |
| 13 |
mail the mailinglist about those 9 tools do you? No, you're going to mail |
| 14 |
about the 10th tool that doesn't work. |

So your perception doesn't mean that Gentoo isn't usuable. |
