(Gentoo)-Linux is the best!

Sorry for this Spam-Thread, but some things must be said now.

I managed to install Gentoo on an K6-2 450 MHz with 128 MB RAM.
I'm really impressed how fast it is. (more than I expected)
There are two compiles running and KDE works still nearly in real-time. (no time to wait for menus, although transperacy is activated)

Loading times are bit long, but for me the real important thing ist, that windows and menus are popping up that fast, that I don't have the feeling that I've to wait.

So, I cannot understand why some people say that PCs of this age are not good for KDE-Desktop-Systems. (except that 'emerge kdebase' directly after 'emerge system' (installed X,qt, kdelibs and kdebase) needed really 24 hours, compilig is a bit on the long side

)

Perhaps someone is interested in the configuration.
Most of the system is compiled with gcc-3.4 and theses CFLAGS: -march=k6-2 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -frerun-cse-after-loop -frename-registers -m3dnow -mmmx -ftracer -fweb

I also used that flags for the kernel.
(yes it's evil, but I've no problem and it runs fast)
It's a gentoo-dev-sources kernel 2.6.7

I'll use prelinking when the system has compiled completly.

That poll now shows that Debian is in the lead.... I since a lot of cheating going on, because I don't think that Debian can go from around 800 votes behind to 400 votes ahead just overnight. Dang immature Debian people.

notice the poll was closed right after debian took the lead... gentoo should have won, i sense foul play.

I also sense total BS. The little Debian fanboys can't take the fact that more people like Gentoo. What crap that is.

That's odd 'cos just this second I voted for Gentoo. Guess I must be a VIP or something for them to open the poll back up just for me.

7476 vote and in gentoo forums there is 57915 person have registered i mean not to body have voted for the pool.....and i readed somewhere that some of debian users has come to gentoo

The poll isn't closed, it's just no longer on the front page. You can still vote.
