Well I use Gentoo and frankly I am not a Guru. Gentoo is IMHO the "best" source-based Linux distribution. It gives you the power of installing either binary packages or source based "portages". The
Debian also has source packages available and can download, compile and configure them like usual. It is difficult to beat the maturity of APT. I havent yet used gentoo, but a couple of gentoo fanatics converted to debian with a little persuasion and *they* cite some advantages of debian over gentoo and not many vice versa.
Maybe you should try Debian once.
