Hi

pretty mich the same here.
i have a T60 with a core-2-duo which works like a charm with gentoo.
i started with gentoo about 5 years abgo and except some (very short) 
interludes with *buntu i always stayed with it.
currently i use a ~x86 system with the portage-2.2-rc which has some 
really nice benefits compared to 2.1.
to the generic vs custom kernel issue i only have to add, that i like 
the short 'modprobe -l' output when you look for a specific module, and 
honestly: compiling a new module on a current notebook is a thing of 
minutes when you add some new hardware, that isn't supported by your 
current kernel.
I know that these optimisations don't give much, but the thing that you 
are able to custom-tune the features of your system is quite nice. I 
remember that i tried out fluxbuntu and the buntus X-server missed the 
SHAPE extension, so fluxbox couldn't display rounded cornes, which drove 
me back to my gentoo quite fast.
attached is my make.conf for everyone who is interested.

Regards Michael

you can get back by masking all the ~x86 versions you have with this 
keyword and remove those keywords whenever a package is upgraded, so 
you'll keep your current state and switch to stable whenever possible 
throug an upgrade-path.
