Well, after a little under 4 months my Toshiba Laptop's hard disk has died in a fit of squealing agony. Luckily I managed to save my photos. Anyhow, when I get a new disk I'll be putting linux on it, and thought I might branch out to try other distros. Originally I was a Mandrake (8.?) user, then for the last 8 months or more a Gentoo user. I love my Gentoo, but re-installing and downloading scares me :) Is there any distro out there that I can play with that has the power of Gentoo's "emerge" without the hassle of so many downloads & compiling. The only one I can think of is Debian. Maybe I should just get the Gentoo 1.4 GRP?
Thoughts? Brad
