I'd like to add to this Thanks!
I've been using Gentoo since 2003 and I've not wanted to change to another distribution since finding Gentoo! I've looked at other distro's (Slackware RedHat, Suse, Debian, Ubunto, Free/Net BSD and Solaris) but I don't think that anything has compared to the tweakability of Gentoo!
I think that most people who leave Gentoo don't actually understand Gentoo (or Linux in general) enough to take full advantage of its configurable power! It's not point and click like Windows, or as simple as other linux distro's with pre-built binary package installers. The level of knowledge required to take full advantage of Gentoo is higher than other operating systems but with this knowledge you are able to customise Gentoo in any way you can imagine!
You have to understand more of the internals of linux and this knowledge only comes after time. Most impatient users will leave well before this knowledge is sufficient enough to tweak Gentoo to the max... which is a shame for them as they really are missing out! |

I am still new to Gentoo (I'm coming from Slackware and Archlinux).
And I just want to say Gentoo is my new favorite Linux distribution.
Seriously. The best. Ever. |

Since 2003 it's simply the best for me.
The most user friendly distro. (not noob friendly).
The community is absolutely great. The best side of Gentoo.

A huge thank you to the amazing staff, volunteers, and community who make Gentoo what it is! The rare distro-hop never lasts more than a week, and there's always that "I'm back for good" feeling upon return.
(Looking at the first page of Gentoo Chat, perhaps we need a dedicated Appreciation subboard!  ) |

I just made the switch from Ubuntu yesterday and this is my first forum post on my shiney new install... Went smoothly other than a couple user fails. And hot diggity i had no idea how fast my machine truly was! Bye-bye bulky binary-based OSes Thanks to all, for this wonderful distro...Wish I had done this years ago!
EDIT: I am kinda regretting my last emerge command tho... Didn't bother to pretend and now it appears that I'm installing the better part of gnome just for tomboy notes and I want to go to bed >.< |

It actually finished like 2 minutes after I said that...lol! Tomboy notes is a nice little app but I had no clue it was so heavily married with gnome (and mono!?)...Time to export my notes and find something else... may just use Zoho or Google apps and hop on the cloud computing bandwagon.
Anyway, don't want to hijack this topic. I'm now 3 days into my Gentoo experience and I couldn't be happier. All the negative/worrisome folks need to calm down. It is encouraging/uplifting topics, like this, that are what we need. It keeps the moral high of both the users and the devs who sacrifice so much time/effort to keep such a wonderful thing alive. All distros undergo lulls in their lives, but I'm a 100% convert now, after only 3 days, despite all my reservations going into it. With time, I hope to be able to contribute myself! Viva Gentoo! |
