The USE flags are what Gentoo is all about (not '-funroll-loops').
I love Gentoo but I probably would avoid it for a production server, Gentoo feels far more flexable than Fedora and SuSE to me (though it does make you look forward to new releases of KDE a whole lot less ;-) |

right up untill you want to uninstall something....
Gentoo has a lot of good things going for it, but I'd like to see the package management actually completed. I shouldn't have to troll through the forums to find a third party script just to uninstall something + everything that depends on it - and then it shouldn't take hours.

You don't need a script at all, it's build in portage;
emerge $package_name -C && emerge --depclean && revdep-rebuild

Hmmm... Intuitive.
I can see why they didn't go for:
emerge -r package_name

I usually just run "emerge unmerge packagename". Maybe the other commands listed in the parent's parent are a better general practice, but unmerging (uninstalling) doesn't require them. Not so unintuitive after all, at least for those who understand the commandline....
P.S. "unmerge" is an alias for the flag "-C"
P.P.S. There are GUI frontends for emerge, it doesn't have to be totally commandline.
