Is that all? :)

Although Novel owns Ximian, they still lean towards KDE as the default, 
just a thought.

I really don't think Gentoo is a good solution just yet.  It's still a 
bit rough around the corners.  I'd go with one of the distros that has 
the nice cd/dvd installs, Red Hat or SuSE.  I think Gentoo is going to 
be such a huge change from what you're use to, it could well affect your 
progress.
