Here is another tool for using yum.

The next edition (FC3) of Fedora is close to being released and you 
may want to wait until that date before making a change.

I was looking at trying Gentoo but never got around to it for some of 
the same reasons you mentioned.  Time to compile and admin my home 
system is to short.
