well, i guess the hottest and thus most modern linux distro atm is gentoo (everyone's doing it, you don't wanna be left out now do ya?)
and i just installed base system, so lets do the test, ..

 shmee@...ee # nmap localhost
 -bash: nmap: command not found

oops :) ,
ok so i emerge nmap, and 5 minutes later (slow netconnection)
 
 shmee@...ee # nmap localhost
 
 Starting nmap 3.27 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2003-07-19 01:06 CEST
 All 1623 scanned ports on squee (127.0.0.1) are: closed
 
 Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.275 seconds


but ok, maybe this _is_ the exception that proves the rule ;)
