Personally I like Debian over Gentoo.  I used Debian for two years on
a mail/web server for personal use and while not a user friendly
distribution by any means (no happy gui installer like SuSE and Red
Hat, for example), I found it far easier to set up than Gentoo.

The so called "performance gains" from compiling every single package
on a system aren't worth the time it takes to actually download and
compile all that source code in the first place, in my opinion.  As
stated before, I don't have time to dork around with a distribution to
"make" things work either.  Give me wonderful bloated GUI tools and
ease of use.  I spend 8-10 hours a day at a commandline managing my
servers at work.  I don't have that much time to spend at home - I did
that when I was in college messing around with Linux.
