I had some time yesterday and spent it browsing the Gentoo web site and came up with a question about the updates. Since I usually install a distro and then modify it as needed it sounds like Gentoo might be worth me taking a look at. I see that Gentoo uses a modified ports system according to the web site. Since most of the rest of the Linux world (or the part I inhabit anyway - RH <G>) uses RPM how is the availablity of packages for Gentoo? I know one of the problems with Caldera was that not many packages were released in RPMs for it. I guess I could run RPM on a Gentoo system as well as the Ports system but then you have two things to keep up with. What do you do if a package is not available in the Gentoo ports system?
