Gentoo There have been many articles as of late about the so called "source" distributions of Linux. Articles about "rpm hell" and how to get out of it. While I have been using Red Rat since the first release (and do have some things for and against it) there is no distribution that will please all of the people all of the time. Then again, that is what makes an OS like Linux nice, in my opinion. Choices. Today, Gentoo Linux is my choice.

Re: Gentoo a good distro?

"Not only that.. but updating [FreeBSD] is ten times easier than gentoo."

Not that I have tried updating my Gentoo install yet (since there hasn't been a new version since 1.2), but I understand that all it takes is an:
emerge --update world

What could possibly be simpler?
