Hi all, Though people might find this interesting.
Intial testing comparing a source distro (Gentoo) with binary distros (Debian and Mandrake) shows that Gentoo offers no speed advantages even though it is compiled for the exact machine type it is going to run on. http://articles.linmagau.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=227 Makes Debain (and Mandrake) look really god for the lack of messing about required of Gentoo.

It could not walk away in disgust. Human capital has free will. It can walk out the door; traditional capital cannot. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
