Very interesting. We use linux in two specific areas: 1) I set up desktop systems for myself and my friends (and I'm considering instlaling it on a used Dell laptop I've recently purchased). 2) I set up and manage linux-powered systems for shared and dedicated website hosting. Gentoo really doesn't fit into either of these areas for me; after I set up desktop systems for my friends I want to be able to forget about them, and I want my friends to be able to forget about them. For that reason I use Knoppix to install Knoppix (on the hard disk of course) and then set up automatic updating with apt-get. As far as webhosting is concerned, for most of our clients we install hosting control panels. There are several on the market, and that's why these days when you host a website you can log in yourself and make all the changes to your account. None that I know of support Gentoo and even if they did I'm not sure I'd want to forgo the ease of updating I get with apt-get, and with yum. But that's just my business experience <smile>. I'd love to have more time to be a comptuer hobbyist, and I'd love to hear from others, and maybe take the time to build a Gentoo desktop myself some day. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, nobaloney.net, P. O.
