Feed up with a few other distros, i am giving GENTOO another look. I tried it when it first came out and had .. hmmm. .... a bit of trouble. I assume things are alot more refined now.
I am looking for a distro to base a LIVE DVD (or CD) from, Can anyone comment on how good GENTOO LIVE CD is on device detection, in particular Network cards, USB, and to a lesser extent graphics/monitors. If someone, in the know, could compare GENTOO against say SUSE or Knoppix in that area, that would be very helpfull. I produce a LIVE DVD for a company, and SUSE has made a pretty good bases, but their release cycle is not to quick, and of course GENTOO, a good thing in this case, has almost a perpetual release cycle. In particular, DELL has started selling PC's with no PS2 ports for keyboards/mice, and thats taking its toll on distros that were released last year. So I am contemplating moving to GENTOO, but I can't test the device recognition on other then a few machines I have, but when I release it to my target audience, it has to work 99.99% across 400+ employees computers, which can be just about any computer of recent vintage, including of course brand new Dells with no ps2 ports. -tl -- [email protected] mailing list
