• Good points:*

emerge is fantastic

the forums and the bugzilla are really active and responsive

because you can upgrade stuff so easily it makes you look at what you have got installed; you don't really want to pull down and compile the latest samba if you're not really using it.

• Bad points*

It can takes days for stuff to compile

You need a lot of disk space for compilation and storing source files

You need a decent net connection to make it worthwhile

Seriously though it is fun.
