[TriLUG] gentoo linux

Hello

Prior to this which distro did you use?  What do you like about it?  If I
understand gentoo and Sourceror
correctly, they dont have any binary packages.  You build everything from
source.  Which I don't
think would be a problem if you have a fast machine and lots of disk space.
What appeals to me is
that it claims to be more up-to-date than the other distros.  I don't know
how much more up-to-date
it is than Debian unstable though.

I DO!!!!

I love it!!!!

I tried Sorcerer but I settled on Gentoo.

I managed to convert one of my friends into
using Gentoo also.

Come, use the power of the source!!! :)

It's about as close to Linux from Scratch
as I wanna get right now.  :)
