Actually I found gentoo yesterday and was thinking it sounded very agreeable. It seems
that it isn't quite ready to go, but when it is I think I'll be trying it out.
I'm agitated by the Slackware install... It wants me to go through an entire
list of
apps that basically includes everything but the few things I do want. It woun't let me
get around it. I mean, of course I want a kernel! Don't ask! If I want stuff out of
the
kernel, I'll recompile later, sheesh! Good old Pat V. needs to decide what a base
install
is and let people run with that. If I take the easy route, I'll have a couple gigs of
shit on here... I don't remember Slack 3.x being this agitating.
