Running Gentoo on my home server makes the maintenance burden *lower* |
| 8 |
for me because I can use all the same tools I'm used to. Besides, |

portage is the pinnacle of package managers IMHO. Using a GNU+Linux |
| 10 |
system without USE flags and such feels like I'm stuck in a hallway, |

with someone else's idea of how software should be configured and |

deployed. |
