I have 3 distros on my box - Debian Potato, Mandrake 8.1 and now, Gentoo.
All things considered it was **way** easier to install than Debian, but not as easy as Mandrake. On the other hand Mandrake is RPM based (hack, ptui!!).
I had never compiled a kernel before - partly out of trepidation. But gosh... Gentoo came with instructions!! Have done two more kernel builds and at this point feel that I could and would do a compile at the drop of a hat.
My assumption from reading the Web site is that Gentoo is somewhat akin to Debian in that it is not a company per-se, but a dedicated group of developers. Anyone know if that is correct?
Thanks for a beautiful distro.
