Katsu,     I didn't do enough with either Debian or Gentoo to be able to 
give you a useful recommendation. As said, I didn't get X up & running 
on either, so I was working exclusively at the console for configuration 
tasks, troubleshooting, exploring documentation--stuff like that--and I 
don't know how much diff between 2 distro's you would notice when doing 
that kind of stuff. But when I get serious about really getting into a 
new distro again (after the Mandrake experience I'm a bit "gun shy"!), I 
will probably try Debian first. Documentation seems more extensive, 
complete, and easy to use.

Good luck.    --Harvey
