I don't have any experience installing Gentoo myself, but I found some nice links, which may help you.

Ubuntu is easy to install, yes, but as far as I know, Gentoo has no GUI for its installation-process. This means it's text-based, and it's harder to install, if you don't have any experience.

It may. You'll probably be able to use man-pages, and --help on most commands. But it doesn't provide any help on which commands to use. You'll have to know how to do the stuff - or read some article.

Hmm I think that something like that will reduce the usage of gentoo?

I don't think it affect the usage of Gentoo, only a little. If you're an experienced Linux-user, then it's not difficult to install Gentoo.
