I must have missed steve's comments the first time around.  Steve, Why?

I switched from redhat about 9 months ago for several reasons and have
not looked back since.  One of the big pluses for me with Gentoo is the
degree of control I have over gentoo and what gets installed on my
system (alot let bloat).  Portage is awesome, no more rpm dependency
he11, althought I guess I could have achieve the same effect with
apt/rpm.  The only thing I have found thus far is I don't like the
non-standard rc directory structure.
