If you're a beginner and/or have limited time, gentoo is a really *bad*
idea.
I'd suggest a binary-based distro, with an easy installer, and a
package manager with automatic dependency resolution. Mandrakelinux 10
+ contribs or + Thac's RPMS, or the combination of RedHat/Fedora +
Planet CCRMA packages would proabably be best.
Debian has a great package manager, but crappy installer. SuSe is vice
versa IMHO.
Hope that helps.
