Hi, I know that. Perfectly. It so happens that the whole point of using Gentoo is to build your own binaries. If you're goind the pre-built packages way, why not do it with someone who has more experience :)
This is why I said the only argument one could throw at me is one which is *against* using Gentoo in spite of Debian/Fedora/whatever... :) Gentoo is very nice, IMHO, but for me it is a time waster, and if you're going the pre-built binaries way... well, why should I move? But your mileage may vary :) BTW, when I said: "no distro-war (...)" I meant it. That Debian jab isn't going to drag me into a distro-war :) Rui On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 09:58:40AM +0800, William Kenworthy wrote: > I think he answered your question Rui - there is no reason gentoo will > kill the flash any sooner than debian - unless its having up to date > software :) > > There are a lot of misconceptions about gentoo, please research it > before making rash statements (like I did about up to date software :) > > I find that opkg is so PRIMATIVE and restrictive compared to portage > thats its really frustrating.
