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.

Makes Debain (and Mandrake) look really god for the lack of messing
about required of Gentoo.

Traditional capital was stuck in a company's bank account or investments. 
It could not walk away in disgust. Human capital has free will. It can 
walk out the door; traditional capital cannot.
