Re: [SLUG] Gentoo getting better

[Kevin Saenz]

I have been using Gentoo for 3-5 months, and have found it to be less bloatie, and a little more reliable compared to RH, Mandrake. I never enjoyed Debian. I started getting annoyed with precompiled packages. I have been told I'm a source junkie, and Gentoo suites me to a T.
My windowmanager of choice is E17, and gentoo allows me to compile and install it easily. The only thing I find lacking is automounting of usb devices. Other than that I am very happy with Gentoo.

Im not usually a Gentoo fan boy, but the latest screen shots for there next release are really making me thing about installing it.

I like the look of the new installer (I can imagine the ricers complaining right now) and for once a live boot option with two smp kernels.
