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.

My apologies for getting a bit harsh up above. I used to work with a software developer who was a MAC militant to the level of the absurd. And reading my statement, I didn't see me "shoving" any OS down anyone's throat.
My itent was to point out what should be clear, that MAC and BSD have never really *taken off* as compared to like windows and linux. Some people are bitter about their pet OS, and will fabricate comparisons to make it look way more appealing than it really is.
I frequent this site primarily because I *don't* think that any OS that's currently out there really does *it* very well, and I'm curious about what's cool and innovative out there that might have the technical merit to actually be the next *cool thing*.
