If you ever get a choice, and you want it to be a little easier than
Gentoo consider my Linux based on all pkgsrc. If you know pkgsrc, then
you'll feel comfortable.

If you know NetBSD's great rc.conf/rc.d/rcorder system, you'll feel
comfortable.

glibc, linux (the kernel), util-linux, linux-modutils and
linux-module-init-tools, vixie-cron, net-tools, linux-nfs-tools, iptables,
isc-dhcpd, linux-kbd, linux-makdev, words, yp-tools, yp-bind, ypserv,
sysklogd, strace, sysvinit, et cetera, all via pkgsrc. (Many are in
pkgsrc-wip.)
