Indeed. I never wandered that far into the deep end but did spend years running Gentoo as my main (initially, then sole) OS of choice. It took a few tries, emerge --update --newuse --deep --quiet @world was very slow on the Pentium III, but once it was up and running I loved every aspect of using it with openbox WM and others like it, sharing with folks on deviantart, etc. I don't think I'll go back to that at any point, as it was far too much effort, but in terms of what I learned it was invaluable. I should caveat that I would like to do the same with a BSD system at some point, only for fun on a separate machine.
