12 Gentoo is worth the effort. Make sure you have backups and some folks build
13 binary packages for a variety of reason. Don't hesitate to ask for help.
14 The Gentoo wiki is getting better and better. It's a place for folks to
15 contribute to the documentation, when they are comfortable with that.
