I like it.  I haven't stretched it out, yet, though.  I haven't tried the
wireless capabilities.

I am still constructing an Intel Gentoo server at home, have Gentoo on the
PowerBook, and put Gentoo on a Sony VAIO (Intel) at work.  So I have a small
familiarity with it.  But I haven't really started adding special programs.
The PB comes with so much available already that I use the Gentoo as a
method of exchanging files with my local network.  Compilation on the PB
seems a bit slow (for a 1GHz CPU), but no where near as bad as the PI
650MHz.  I haven't had the nerve to see if cross-compiling will work with
different processor types.

I am learning more with Gentoo than with other distros.  Yes, it takes time,
but it also teaches.


In Harmony's Way and In A Chord,
