I really loved how portage worked as well. I started using Gentoo in 2004 because it was one of the 2 distros that initially supported AMD64—I had an AMD64 FX51. In fact, I used Gentoo until about 2 years ago, so another 3 or 4 years after that incident. I stopped using Gentoo because my home computer blew up (major hardware failure) and I had to switch from Linux to Windows at work. And I still haven't replaced my home computer. I had backups, but I actually never applied them because I decided to create a new website instead.
