Hopefully I'm coherent enough to make some sense :). Granted I have finished the install about 30 minutes ago (took a little over 4 hours), I am really digging gentoo. When you first boot up you find yourself with a clean but minimal file system. With some of the other distributions I felt swamped by all the software dropped on the hard drive. You can also feel the difference in speed. The Installation was a breeze. The documentation is really good (although I did catch one error that had you writing a file to an umounted file system). All in all it was pretty enjoyable. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes.yahoo.com/
