I think you understood Gentoo wrong. |

Gentoo IS a foundation and, AFAIK, has never been meant to be something |
| 17 |
else. Gentoo provides an extremly flexible foundation to build the |
| 18 |
system exactly as you like. That's why it is different. |
| 19 |
Ubuntu,Fedora,Suse,Debian are *distros*: they provide a more or less |
| 20 |
ready-to-go system with certain quirks, attitudes, goodies and so on, on |
| 21 |
a silver plate. Gentoo instead provides a way to put up and maintain the |
| 22 |
system as you like. |
| 23 |

You want skyscrapers? Gentoo gives you what you need to build them, but |
| 25 |
needs not to care about them. What you want is probably a Gentoo-derived |
| 26 |
distro, not Gentoo itself. Have you considered looking at Sabayon? |
