Her might not be.. it took me many hours to install gentoo.
I suppose I shouldn't have chosen the option to build everything.

Then I had to do it again.. the instructions were fine and told you how to
install a disk driver for the controller I had.
It didn't make it clear you had to manually add that controller to the
kernel built before you attempted to reboot at the end.
Still it was an interesting learning exercise.

And I suppose the 62+ pages of people complaining of Ubuntu lockups are all
trolls as well?

Get real....

Likely, but not necessarily. IIRC, Sabayon is a Gentoo derivative,
meaning they likely have the option to install bundled binaries or build
from sources if they chose the latter, 27 hours isn't unreasonable.
