Linux This (quite long) article has been written by me for two primary reasons: One, to hopefully save someone else the time and hassle associated with trying out various Linux distributions, and two, to promote some discussion and feedback regarding what a modern Linux distribution should be, and of course to contrast this with what is currently available. I am exploring the offerings of MS Windows, BeOS and MacOSX, and then taking on a number of well-known Linux distributions.

Too lazy for gentoo
by someguy on Tue 8th Apr 2003 20:27 UTC

If the guy was leery of spending 24 hours just to get the system up, gentoo also has precompiled binaries. I think that the fact that he didn't even realize this and give it a try shows that he didn't put any really serious effort into finding out about Gentoo.
