I use Gentoo, CentOS, Fedora and Debian so no war here :-) I'm just curious why you think Gentoo will wear out flash devices sooner than any other distro if reasonably configured. The key here is probably 'reasonable' as I would build packages on a more capable machine and use binary-only merges, and various directories may find themselves mounted over the network. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
