No, that is absolutely not true. You have to understand that you must accept Gentoo on it's own terms and realize what it is. Here are some things that Gentoo IS NOT: - A replacement for Debian/Centos with the same ease of maintenance - A trouble-free distro - A distro with assurances that the devs won't break it - Suitable for production use without a QA system behind it Gentoo is not for any of those cases. Gentoo is built by people who want to customize or build a system that no-one else offers and you as the user have to take that mindset as well. With Gentoo, you own a race-car. It needs constant fiddling to keep it happy and if you leave it in the garage for 6 months it complains very very loudly. I've been reading this thread all along, and one thing is clear to me: Gentoo is not for you (unless you change your expectations), it does not do what yu want and likely never will. You need a binary distro. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
