Ok, so I am an old RedHat/Fedora user here, but I am looking at switching to gentoo to use on my PowerBook in dual boot fashion. (Sorry if this is redundant.) In any event, what is the deal with software? I noticed that the gentoo site boasts that there are over 8000 packages but when I look up individual packages I notice that they are only ready to go for certain platforms. My first impression was that gentoo built everything from source, but the fact that there are packages makes me thing differently. Can anyone comment on this?
Thanks!
