I looked at gentoo about 2 years back when I wanted to switch from Mandrake, I went with Mepis and realy liked 3.3 but 3.4-3 doesn't seem as good. Don't like how they changed the reopositories. So I thought I'd look to gentoo again, and am please to see they're really making progress. Looks like there's a live cd with a graphical install from what I've read.
I remember asking about a graphical frountend [like synaptit in Mepis] and was told "we're working on it." How's it coming? I see it still leans heavly on Gnome but a KDE version is on it's way, that will help with popularity. I have a Celleron 2.9 gig 80 gig hd X 2 and 160 gig sata Diamond Stealth P90 nvidia fx 5200 video, and winsurf tv card that likes to lock my systom up grrrr and dsl. Will the dvd have a ton of stuff? I see the live cd is only 200 meg, that seems kinda small. Be nice to see xvkbd in it for people who can't use their hands well. Just wondering.
