If you're just looking for another binary distribution, CentOS is there. Or Sabayon. Or Ubuntu. Pick your poison. But I use and _develop_ Gentoo because I _want_, and sometimes just _need_ source based! Sometiems it's because I'm doing embedded work and I have to shave even those 4KiB, most of the time is because I want the flexibility. And unbundling almost never has "negligible advantages" as it's not the _size_ or performance that we care about in those situation but security and reliability. Would you rather have to track down Internal Compiler Errors in two dozens packages, or on one, even if it takes slightly longer when it breaks compatibility? (And almost never it takes _that_ long anyway.) I would definitely prefer the one. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes [email protected] — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
