I'm thinking of canning winblows alltogether on my primary machine and going strictly Gentoo with Windows XP access limited to rare VMWare sessions. So far I have learned more about linux during this install process than I have in the last year ....

I installed Gentoo 1.2 from stage 1 previously. Long process on a 1GHz Athlon. Currently trying to update glibc so's I can re-emerge/update everything. Compiler issues keep popping up.
Getting impatient enough to just load the GRP and customize from there.
Gentoo is the shiz IMHO as far as Linux distros go. Still hard to relinquish Windows completely (sentimental attachment to my MCSE status as well as my career [supporting Windows, Linux, and some other obscure OS's]). I still want to get off Windows in favor of Linux for most operations (mail, surfing, Office-type stuff).
