      I flocked from Ubuntu, because I thought apt was too cryptic for
      beginners (which is essentially what Ubuntu is for). I also
      thought it was an incredibly juvenile operating system.<br>
      <br>
      One of the advantages that Gentoo has - speaking from personal
      experience here - is that the packages are much easier to
      configure prior to install than opposed to Fedora or Ubuntu.<br>
      <br>
      To each their own.<br>
