Speaking only of the 'marketable skills' aspect, I disagree. When we are interviewing
potential new linux people, I prefer one who has gentoo experience. Specifically
because of what you need to go through to get it installed and working. Now, thats not
to say I disqualify someone who doesn't have gentoo exp. However, given 2 almost
identical candidates, I'll go with the one with gentoo exp. Heck, they don't even have
to be identical...
