   Installing Gentoo has been driving me nuts. Not only is the handbook flat out not funcitonal in some places (Like "make boot" not working after make and make module_install and genkernel failing unless you first do "emerge --ask sys-kernel/genkernel" which is further down in the docs)

   It also takes ages. I might have to wait half an hour for a huge emerge job before I can even see what error it'll spit out.

      @quad Wait until you get to compiling a DE.

      @quad Agree fully. Also, install docs should default to encrypted drives.

      @quad have you tried slackware? Easy to do a customised install. While the install is from precompiled binaries, anything you install thereafter can be from source with whatever optimisation or customisation you want.
