The nice thing about Gentoo is that as far as packages are concerned, all the archs stay fairly well in sync (and if not, it's really easy to hack). I haven't used PPC, but Debian/Alpha was always a bit behind Debian/x86. Of course, this isn't an issue with Yellow Dog, but I think that if you've got a home system of a non-x86 arch, then Gentoo is the way to go. Then again, I think Gentoo is the way to go in pretty much every circumstance... -- Soren Harward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://theboard.byu.edu/ "Americans are always attempting to run away from conformity, but unfortunately they always start running in the same direction." -- Art Buchwald
