Please stop with the FUD...

I've been running gentoo for 8+ years, and it is a *breeze* to keep 
updated, *especially* long term (since it is a 'rolling release' type of 
distro)...

Yes, it actually does require some minimum amount of attention from the 
admin, like, say, once per week or once per month updates - buy so 
should *any* system... and yes, it does require a little more 
willingness to learn and 'get your hands dirty' (especially for the 
installation), but it is well worth it.

Oh - and Portage rocks... :)
