Edit out..errr...turn off SELinux. That fixed everything that was going wrong with mine.
And as far as what it's like to install Gentoo...
A pro installs Gentoo

If you want a fast Gentoo installation you should try using most of the things Gentoo has to offer like reiser4, package optimizations, flags etc.

I would really like to install this on my laptop but I just can't get it going. Nearly impossible to get the LAN running.
Personally I'm very interested in *BSD but I can't get it to run on any machine I have. I think it may be my nforce chipsets that are causing problems. It seems like a much more robust system.

You could always use ndiswrapper if you've any Win32 drivers for it...

I've heard nothing but good things about it. A pro I know set up apt repos so you can upgrade from FC5 straight through. Maybe you should try that. And agreed, SELinux is not for home users.

It seems to me that Gentoo is what you want. Meaning, you can go through and compile each package with your sse2 flags and whatnot. Plus, if you're a rockstar, you can customize each source file to your personal needs.
