Gentoo has pre built binaries for years now - you can be totally lazy about that ... And still benefit from packages/system being smaller/faster because they are not built to cater for all possibilities. And you can still override options (use flags) and compile some things exactly as you want/need them.

It is super nice to be able to mostly use binary packages but build from source anytime you want different options:)

oh thats nice. maybe if i ever feeling rebuilding i'll look into it again. but truly, I've been using this install since 33... and am on 44 atm. never have i has such a slick trouble free experience. I've had one nvidia related issue once... I also had to rebuild a mirror once because i wanted to update more than i wanted ZFS, and they were updating the kernel faster than the zfs package was updating. not a big deal. I've moved on happily.
