Boy, I hate OS wars, but I simply must take issue with this.  I've had both 
Gentoo and FreeBSD on the same box, and there is *no* comparison.  FBSD is 
tons faster.  And if you think FBSD's ports system is not as good as 
portage, you simply aren't familiar with it.

I like Gentoo a *lot*, but I'll use FreeBSD until they solve the speed 
problem.  Then I'll have to reconsider, but I'm not sure I'll change.
