No I thought not.
Thats the spirit lets keep Gentoo to ourselves so it can grow...
*sigh*
I was of course just kidding. I do like Gentoo but hey, it isn't the right
choice for everyone. Some people I'm sure would prefer hand holding and
fancy GUI installers that other Distros have a seem to cator to the masses.
DO you really think Gentoo should be the first Distro people new to Linux
should turn to?
In one word... YES!. If you're going to learn your way around Linux
well, why not start with something that doesn't teach you rely on GUIs
and crap like that. When it all goes south, you're left iwth a command
line. I guess I'm from the school that started wtih computer back where
there was no GUI. The closest thing I had to a GUI was an ncurses like
system, that really didn't work all that well.
