Vanilla Source vs Gentoo Source

[murph1083]

I have been using gentoo-source as my kernel in the past but recently a buddy of mine suggested vanilla source since its more universal and comes right from the kernel developers. The reason Im asking is because im getting ready do do a new Gentoo Install and wanted to see if there was good reason to consider vanilla? Also, is there a good reason to use a newer, masked kernel?

No, it won't take into account some specific issues that the gentoo kernel-people did solve.

My machine runs perfect on vanilla...

what can be possibly wrong with a vanilla kernel?
I think it is more stable (cause of better testing) than the gentoo kernel.

Maybe because I never tried the gentoo sources...


Geert.

Same-same with some additions. Vanilla+
