Let's remove the parenthetical remarks from your original post and see just
how excited you are about Gentoo:
"Well, I've switched from Debian to Gentoo long ago, and while it's quirky,

and runs into an occasional build problem, I've had no real show stoppers
thus far."

Apparently, WinMe was crash-happy. Vista has delusions of godhood.

Linux. Because it's there and it works.
Windows. It's there, but does it work?
