Sorry folks but I had to post this here.

I see many people complain that Gentoo takes to long to compile and has too many deps and such. Well I like it cuz most of the Deps are automaticaly dl'ed then compiled. Just me-I love having only what I need.

But the real reason is becasue of MS. I have an MSI neoplatnium4. And I can't install windows XP unless I have an IDE HD hooked up. I used the sata drives for Nvidia and Silicon and the install screen either locks up or tells me the HD's have no configuable partitions-even after creating them with the windows tools lmao.

I have tried XP home/Pro differnt disc (and yes legit CD not copies) nothing I do will work. But I through Gentoo in and wham-the ever hard working porgramers/coders out there have solve this problem even a year ago when I install Gentoo.

Who needs that games if the OS wont even load :) .

Go Gentoo. I didn't realize XP required an IDE HD though, interesting.
