10 You should review what you want out of your Linux Distro cos I for once am
11 failing to understand your point of view. What do you want? Gentoo is gentoo.
12 It gives you full control to do what *YOU* want to do and taking full control
13 of a full fledged OS is needless to say; "difficult". If you don't desire or
14 need the full control then imho there are various other distros available
15 with *simplicity* written all over them. They should be there at your
16 service. But if Gentoo starts to uninstall stuff from my system without
17 asking me then the whole philosophy of control dies or Gentoo dies.
