Ja, me too. I tend to have pathetic CPUs along with trailing-edge storage. ;-> The exchange on Slashdot was pretty hilarious, which is why I remembered it: Gentoo Linux by omega9 on 08:36 AM April 9th, 2002 (Score:5, Funny) (#3309778) (User #138280 Info) http://www.google.com/ | Last Journal: 04:17 PM August 19th, 2001 [ Neutral ] For all you Debian users waiting around for debs, I'm in Gentoo. So your apt-get can bite my "emerge kde". Compiled from source w/ all dependencies all in one command. Suck it. Now be a predictable Debian user and mod me down for bashing your golden cow.

Gentoo is a great distro, but there is no way in hell I'd ever survive the compile times. I'm a "install tools as I need them" kind of guy.
