Yes, Gentoo is great.  I used it for many years.  But, how long does
it take you to compile Gnome/KDE? :-)

Can you be more specific?  Ubuntu is great for the desktop and chooses
the options that would most suit the end user.  However, Ubuntu is
still based on Debian and I don't see where your bias for Debian fits
in and on what level...
