   Have no worries mate...   
      
   Even if the impossible happens and Gentoo completely disappears from the   
   face of the earth... there's a veritable host of other distributions to   
   pick from. The one that would probably be the next step from Gentoo is LFS.   
   I've worked with it before and liked it a lot. If not for Gentoo, I would be   
   an LFS supporter. Much like Gentoo, LFS has it's derivatives to... it has   
   an embedded group, hardend group, and automated install group and one that   
   proposes a way to "polish off" your new LFS install.   
      
   Change is always hard to accept, but Life and Linux goes on.
