Gentoo is great!
by Zachary on Sun 25th May 2003 18:25 UTC

I first installed Gentoo at 1.2 or so on a spare partition on my main comp. There's a lot to configure to get it running perfectly, but once you have it right you don't have to worry about reinstalling. I eventually overwrote my Gentoo partition because of lack of time to configure and I went back to using Windows 2000. However, as soon as I got my laptop repaired I installed it on there, took to time to get everything configured, and fell in love with it all over. I'm now typing this on my newly reformatted main machine with Gentoo as the primary OS ;) I still have lots of configuration, but that's ok. After my first trial of Gentoo, no other distribution has really appealed to me. I used to download all the latest of Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake, Xandros, etc to try out. However, in my opinion, none compare to Gentoo. It's a learning experience and a great OS.
