That's mostly because Gentoo forces you to think about what you want to do :-) This isn't a bad thing, people have to think all the time. Like choosing a wife - men should consider very carefully if the girl is a good choice, then marry her if the answer is yes. Software choices are like that too. > Well, maybe that's true, however here I found the best support I've ever > found for a linux distribution (and for softwares in general...). Probably because we remember all too well what it was like for us in the early days. I remember my first Gentoo install in 2004, I just blindly followed the handbook without a clue what I was doing! That machine still runs, I fixed all my initial mistakes (no reinstall!), but it's no longer my primary machine. It's right next to me at this desk, as a file sever -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
