Don't forget that gentoo's portage system can be installed on Redhat,
Suse, Slack, or any other linux distribution.  The same goes for gentoo:  
apt-get, RPM, etc., are often installed on gentoo to take advantage of
other distribution's packages.  Why run different distributions, when you
can have all of them running as one?

out how to encrypt the root file system in several steps and shared his
experience:
