Anyone ever use the distro Gentoo Linux? http://www.gentoo.org/

"Gentoo Linux is a versatile and fast, completely free Linux =
distribution for x86, PowerPC, Sparc and Sparc64 that's geared towards =
Linux power users. Unlike other distros, Gentoo Linux has an advanced =
package management system called Portage. Portage is a true ports system =
in the tradition of BSD ports, but is Python-based and sports a number =
of advanced features including dependencies, fine-grained package =
management, "fake" (OpenBSD-style) installs, path sandboxing, safe =
unmerging, system profiles, virtual packages, config file management, =
and more."

Seems they have a bootable CD with a demo of Unreal Tournament 2003:

Epic Games' much-anticipated Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo is now =
available on a self-booting Gentoo Linux-based LiveCD, allowing you to =
play the Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo using any modern PC with an NVIDIA =
GeForce 2 or greater graphics card and a CD-ROM drive. Full networking, =
OSS sound and Creative Soundblaster Live! and Audigy support included, =
allowing for the full gaming experience including LAN/Internet play, EAX =
environmental audio and of course 3D accelerated OpenGL graphics. The CD =
also serves as a fully-functional Gentoo Linux installation CD. You can =
download the CD using this link.=20
