sorry, i don't know gentoo, so i can't really help...

but i'm just wondering, what do you mean when you say manrdrake is too "windows like"?? what is it that you are looking for?

just asking, i'm not "defending" mandrake or anything :)

all dist use the same things(i mean progs and kernel) but use diffrent configurations so its up to u to change mandrake to your needs when you install gentoo nothing is going to change kde is the same kde or gnome for that matter you can use diffrent window manager is you dont like the look but changeing dist for that matter is useless

O.K., thanks for the help guys...

Go to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml
for information on how to install Gentoo.

Since you have limited bandwidth. I suggest you stick with whatever distribution that you got.
