Personally, I would have to disagree about Gentoo not being good for users new to Linux. While it is a little more difficult and I would not recommend it to every new user, if you are fairly knowledgeable about computers and have a willingness to really learn about your system, a manual stage 3 install of Gentoo will teach you a lot. And since for the most part, with Gentoo, you build your system from the ground up you do not get a lot of the bloat that comes with other systems. I have tried a lot of other distributions and I have always ended back up at Gentoo and I would not call myself an expert Linux user in any way. It just suits my needs better then any other Linux distribution I have found.
Well, thats just my thoughts and I hope you found this helpful in someway.
