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 know, but if you read many sites frequented by Linux users (osnews, slashdot, linuxtoday, kerneltrap), you'll see the trend. The help was prefixed with "Well, you should have read the manual." In this case, it was actually worse
Mayby your sick of attitude but I'm sick of lazyness and stupidity. The user came out blasting Gentoo, Gentoo Developers, and Gentoo Mailing Lists. All of this could have easily been solved by simply reading the excellent documentation on gentoo.org. The USE flags are introduced in the install guide; furthermore, a 7 page "Gentoo Guide to USE Flags" is right below the install guide.
