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.

> I used was the ACPI
I had problems with ACPI on Gentoo on my dual Celeron. The kernel was not booting because of this. I searched on the net, and only SuSE had similar problems in some cases. I had to disable ACPI in order to manage and boot on Gentoo.
> that, or the portage tree on the stage 3 CD is woefully outdated
You always, ALWAYS, make a:
emerge rsync
before you emerge any new software. This will update the portage tree, which changes pretty much, daily.
