Not that they will get any money for gentoo or anything, I just wanted to be sure that all Gentoo users and LQ members saw the LQ.org members choice awards voting for best distribution: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=409010

Let's prove that the Gentoo community is as strong as we all believe.

Thanks. I've been lurking around here for a while, just more active over on LQ since I'm not (yet) an exclusively Gentoo man... some of my machines just can't handle it, and until I get cross-compilation working well on distcc, they may stay away from gentoo, sadly.

What do you mean "they can't handle it"? Does it take to long to compile or something? Just wondering.

Yeah, one of my boxes is OLD (P1/133). The time to compile is just too ridiculous, and the only reason I still use it is because it has 8 SCSI cd-rom drives in it, from which I export the disks via SMB and NFS. At some point I'll just move those disks to images on another computer, but for now it just sits there with Debian.
