Amen to that brother. I still have a windows machine which I'll probably just use for some Legacy of Kain games that I like to play from time to time. But it's Gentoo all the way here. 8)

Is Gentoo my main OS? Yes. I also have an Ubuntu desktop, but tonight I made the decision to migrate it over to Gentoo as well. It'll be a monster with Gentoo. Ubuntu is only slowing it down, and it doesn't seem especially stable after my last system update.

I tried Slack, Suse, Ubuntu, Mandrake, Fedora/RedHat. During those days I dual-booted with XP. Then I discovered Gentoo and quickly forgot that all other OSs existed. Then that crappy ntfs (windoze) partition became a beautiful reiser4 partition. And life has been good ever since... 8)
