I wouldn't say gentoo is for everyone (and don't imply you said that), but I'm
using gentoo since 1.5 years and never looked back since. As a software
developer who likes to know what is installed, can easy administrate it and like
fairly up-to-date packages, gentoo is simply heaven for me.

For what it's worth, I'm definitely not a fan of M$ Windows, but I think it
would be better for the future Linux community in general to stay away from
terms like "shit OS" when referring to Windows, but instead constructively
support current Windows-users with the first steps with Linux (or any other OS)
if they do so wish.
