Gentoo isn't "hard" as long as you are up to speed with how to drive it. |

It's a high performance race engine that you can turn into anything you |
| 10 |
want it to be, and we are the mechanics. The guys in the pits at races |
| 11 |
don't consider their engines "hard", they just take it in their stride |
| 12 |
because they have large amounts of clue. Just like most of us here :-) |

The beauty of Gentoo is that if you do want to make something suitable |
| 15 |
for Aunt Tillie to use and nothing else out there fits the bill, you can |
| 16 |
write a wrapper around Gentoo to get what you want, and that's where the |
| 17 |
complexity lies - in a place Aunt Tillie doesn't need to see it. |
