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.

Problem is once they manufactured the cd's and distibuted them, most of the sources would be out of date.
I love gentoo. It's the first Linux distro I've really been comfortable with. It sure helps a bunch having broadband access to the internet. As it is a distro, presently, aimed at developers and network pros; most of these individuals will certainly have a fast connection.
