Hogwash. What's so hard about it, as opposed to any other Linux distro, |
| 7 |
once you get past the install issue? |

Is learning Portage somehow intrinsically harder than figuring out how |
| 10 |
to manage YAST and YOU, if you don't know anything at all about package |
| 11 |
management (which, after all, Windows doesn't have at all)? Does having |
| 12 |
to figure out how to acquire a media player that will play your MP3s and |
| 13 |
DVDs by default, because you're using a distro that does not legally |
| 14 |
prefer this functionality to be distributed, somehow make that distro |
| 15 |
easier to use, or simpler in some way? The ATI drivers are a b**ch to |
| 16 |
install no matter what distro you use, if you need them. |

Just what precisely is so not-simple about Gentoo as opposed to any |
| 19 |
other distro (barring perhaps Linspire)? |
