(In fact, we had a really long thread about that very subject.) However, the more I do, the more I really like my gentoo system booting in under 20 seconds as compared to over 40 for Fedora. I also like the control to what packages I install and what compile options I need. Granted, not everyone knows or cares about those things, but virtually everything I run on gentoo on my laptop runs faster than the exact same package in Fedora on the same system. And I'm not talking barely noticeable I'm talking very obviously faster. The biggest one being Firefox. I have no idea what is going on with Fedora's Firefox, but the exact same set of plugins and configuration on gentoo and it screams compared to the slug that is FF on Fedora. FF on fedora is almost unusable with a standard setup on Fedora. -- Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
