I don't use Gentoo, but i really appreciate their documentation. When 
Googling to figure out problems with Red Hat or Debian i'm always happy 
when i see a link to a Gentoo forum or wiki on the exact same problem 
i'm having, even if some of the minor details are different because it 
was for a different distribution.

The only project i can quickly think of with better documentation is 
OpenBSD. I've not used FreeBSD, but OpenBSD has the policy of treating 
problems in the documentation with the same seriousness as bugs in the 
code.
