I'm not entirely sure I follow.  Something about the distro always pisses 
you off?  Or something about the process of *installation* pisses you off?

If you can muster the thoughts, I'd be glad to hear a couple examples of 
various distros and what you didn't like about them.

Sounds like Gentoo DID have something that pissed you off.  (Although I'll 
concede that perhaps it didn't COMPLETELY piss you off...)
