Something you may have missed is that Gentoo is typically compiled at 
installation.  While it's possible to do a binary compile, it's hardly the 
distribution for someone who struggles with menu-based configurations.

Again, I suggest Linux from Scratch for you.  By the time you complete your 
installation you should know things like how to configure the shell.
