That was what really turned me off to debian.  I spent a week downloading
umpteen cd images, burned them all, and it STILL had dependency issues.
Debian is good -- once you do get it installed and working.  I have yet to
successfully get a running gentoo install -- and I really wanted it to
work.
Too bad my desire didn't just will it to work.  I imaging Gentoo, once
initially installed, is pretty slick.  Its a shame.

So, sigh, I had to go back to Fedora and their brief lifecycles and their
vanilla i386 builds.  argh.
