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 tried to install it but couldn't find module for network card Marconix (is it tulip?) well I was quite sad. I started to think about sorcerer or something like source mage... But since I noticed there is distro based on Gentoo with anaconda-based installer I want to know where to get it. So if someone knows please post reply. It's a bit hard for newbie. And I saw I should learn Fdisk... a got a bit unexcited, I really don't have time to go so deep, but I like my system being fast so if you have any suggestion please reply.
