Nice way to introduce yourself on a distribution support
maillist.... :')
I'm sorry that you find the idea of exploring "Linux variants that
share certain characteristics" so inflammatory and out-of-place on a
Linux mailing list.
I really like Gentoo and I like that fact that it does a pretty good
job at supporting Gnome, however, it's still behind other releases,
such as Fedora, in terms of when it releases updates, etc.
Huh?
A-huh. See http://fedoraproject.org/infofeed/
Linux from Scratch looks very interesting: it appears to rapidly
support the latest updates and it has decent documentation. Does any
one have any perspectives on Linux from Scratch, from a Gentoo point-
of-view? Does anyone wish to share a comparison of the two?
Yeah, sure... Gentoo is more fun.
As for being "behind other releases"... you gotta-be-kiddin....
See: http://fedoraproject.org/infofeed/
See random list provided to another member on this list
What and where EXACTLY is gentoo behind any other release?
gcc
openoffice
mysql
php
etc, etc
