If Gentoo Linux were a Car...

1. You go pick up an engine (in pieces) and body parts from the central warehouse.
2. You find that your version of sys-car/transmission is too new and you need to get a newer version of sys-car/engine out of storage.
3. You put together the engine, transmission, and body. You're pretty psyched, only to find that you have yet to install car-misc/seats.
4. You install the seats, but find that the latest version of car-misc/seats does not correctly recognize the human body, due to an incompatibility.
5. You downgrade car-misc/seats and in the process must downgrade sys-apps/steering-wheel for height concerns.
6. You install the radio separately, which is the easiest part.
7. You turn the car on and it explodes.

Prayer to install Linux

Leon wanted to bless his system before he installed Linux, and I came forth with the following:

Blessed be this computer system. Remove from it under the name of the system lord Linux all sins of the hard drive and RAM. Cleansed be its bits and its bytes. Praise be the system lord Linux.

- Dustin L. Howett

It releases the system from the grips of the demons of Windows, and thus asks for it to be forgiven of its Windowsy transgressions. :)
