To quote another contributor to this thread.  "I feel like I'm  
banging my head off a brick wall."

Why bother doing any of the above?  It's all done for you already in  
Ubuntu or Debian.

If you are seriously going to persist with the argument that Gentoo  
is faster to install than Ubuntu, then there's basically no hope for  
the discussion, as you're clearly in cloud-cuckoo land.
