Gentoo is so far, the big Linux surprise this year. With its 1.0 release took the Linux world by storm and converted a huge number of power users and developers from the well-known Linux distros they were using, to the lightweight Gentoo Linux. While its installation process is not for the faint of heart, it pays back the user with a highly optimized system. As a result, Gentoo is dubbed the "fastest Linux distro" to date. Read on for an exclusive interview with Gentoo's project leader, Daniel Robbins where he reveals that Gentoo will be further optimized with the fastest x86 C/C++ compiler (Intel's ICC) in addition to GCC 3.1. Daniel also speaks about the future plans for Portage and the overall system in general.

I put Woody on my Pavillion zt 1130, but the sucker ran so damn hot becasue the 2.4 kernel does not have support for the Advanced power controls. 2.5.x does not either.....I guess I will just have to wait.
my next Laptop will be a Powerbook though....1 yr. 9 months........can't wait.
