3 I use and stay with Gentoo because it is the distro that I started with. I
4 was used to windows before I used Gentoo, let alone linux. Once I got out
5 of the windows way of thinking, then Gentoo and linux just kind of feel a
6 bit natural. I've stayed with Gentoo because I haven't seen a good reason
7 to switch to another one. I like the fact that it doesn't try to appeal to
8 the masses, like Ubuntu, because the way things are done in those distros
9 makes customization more difficult for advanced users. Also they are not as
10 easy to tinker with. Gentoo worked for me when I was new, which was 6 years
11 ago, and it works great for me now that I'm quite familiar with it inside
12 and out.
