I'm not sure I'd go as far as saying that gentoo does a better job than 
debian--imo they are both very comprobable.  I personally happen to like 
gentoo's interface much better than debians.  I think it's much simpler to 
learn and understand--whereas the default debian interface requires a gnu 
mind-set 'you _must_ read the docs and learn a bunch of one letter commands 
to navigate and do anything in the app'.

All-in-all, I've been equally impressed with their abilities to correctly 
resolve dependency issues and actually help me mitigate them, rather than rpm 
that just dumps a 'required libxyz.so is missing' error w/o telling me in 
which rpm it is contained, nor giving me the option to just go get it and 
install it also right then and there.
