I ran Gentoo for a while and liked it.<br><br>I like Portage, but eventually I got tired of recompiling packages.&nbsp; I just didn't have the processor power for it at the time and ultimately that became a frustrating aspect of it for me.
<br><br>With a Live DVD though, I don't imagine that would be much of an issue. ;)<br><br>At this point my boxes are split between Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora Core / RHEL.&nbsp; I don't really have a 'favorite' Distro at this point, but Debian / .apt styel and RH / .rpm style distros are all I seem to have time to keep up with these days.

All,<br><br>someone once recommended gentoo to me... I've recently<br>run into a couple guys (not plug members) that also<br>run<br>gentoo. So I started thinking... Anyway, on<br>distrowatch there was an article on rr4; a livedvd
<br>based on gentoo. know if it's pretty faithful to<br>gentoo?<br><br>any laptops on gentoo? is it hard to keep gentoo boxen<br>updated?<br><br>I'm still pretty green and the idea of gentoo installs<br>is a little scary to me. Not to mention that while I
<br>like to play around with stuff and try distros, I<br>don't<br>have a lot of time to mess with it.<br><br>..just asking for your 2 cents.<br><br>thanks<br>-j<br><br><br><br><br>__________________________________<br>Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005
