Gentoo is just simply amazing. I found out how so recently when I emerged Open Office. I had always thought that OO opened so slowly, regardless of the speed of machine-- comparitively. Howerver, when I emerged it on my gentoo box, I got a very pleasant surprise. It opened almost as fast as abiword....which is something I did not expect. Customizing the OS and software to run on your system works and is well worth the time and effort. It just simply works!
I have two machines that sit almost side by side. Libranet on one and Gentoo on the other; there is no significant difference in hardware. There is absolutely no competition. The gentoo box beats it hands down. Now, however, I do not have weeks into customizing the Libranet box; thirty minutes and I was up and functional. However, my gentoo box is the machine that I use and therefore am willing to put the time and effort into getting it just right. Gentoo allows me the tools to do that better than any distro I have ever tried. Thanks Gentoo! _________________ If you're being chased by a bear remember: you don't have to outrun

Gentoo is great But faster startup with OO might also be because of the newer OO Version which seem to have a faster startup. Anyway, where else can you get the latest version so fast
right, just gentoo! |
