And once you have set up your CFLAGS during installation you will probably not
change them. I did add a couple of USE flags as time went on and you only
need to fiddle with packages.keywords if you particularly want some masked
versions of packages. There are some nice GUI package managers as well such
as Kuroo and Guitoo.
Risking pleasing no one....I have a Gentoo machine at home and have recently
installed Ubuntu on an old K6-500. I actually like both systems.... Having
seen the ease of maintaining both Gentoo and Ubuntu I am wondering why I have
been messing with RPM's for so long!

the only tinkering most people do is set up CFLAGS and add some USE flags and
the occasional entry in /etc/portage/packages.keywords
not a whole lot of sucking going on
