Has nothing to do with Scaleability, or performance for me. I guess I was more interested in portage. Apt seemed like a good idea, but IMO was always way behind what was available. I'm not exactly cutting edge, but I don't want to be using the razor you just threw away because it's so old either. =) When I ran Red Hat I always had issues with RPMs not having the right libraries installed to get them working. I was at the point with these that I would get the SRPM instead of the RPM and recompile it on the fly and install from that. That way you knew when you installed the RPM that everything would work for you. (Well most of the time). Gentoo just made it so I'm getting the "SRPM" everytime.
