Afterall, out of all of the linux distros out there, I would

gentoo takes the least time to mess around... </sarcasm>
LOL. I did use Gentoo for a while, but I got sick of things
breaking on
updates. Arch provides most of the benefits that Gentoo does
but defaults
to
binary packages while letting you build them from source if
you want to
rather
than making _everything_ be built from source. And
surprisingly, Arch
seems to
do a better job of providing bleeding edge packages quickly
than Gentoo
does
(at least for the packages that I care about).
But Linux distros are one of those things that you can argue
about
endlessly.
To each their own I guess.
I agree. I tried LFS and then added portage, which basically
made it into
Gentoo. I general I like the idea about Gentoo but it just
takes too much
time. These days I'm staying away from Gentoo and using Ubuntu
when I'm
using Linux. But we all know that the best Unix-like system is
Mac OS X :)
Another platform that we need to start testing extensively with
GDC. :-)
Anyone willing to jump onboard?
I'll bite - I'm getting my feet wet again after being away from
programming for a long absence, but I'd love to help out if I can.
I'm more of a Linux guy than an OSX man, but since my wife
insists on using FaceTime to chat with me while we are apart, I'm
stuck here in Apple-land! What can I do?
