P3s are one of the best archs out there for compiling due to their great math handling... Aside from that, my favorite aspect of Gentoo is the ease of keeping it going once the install is done. I referred to it as "low-maintenance" to a Windows-using friend and I thought he was going to recommend me for an exorcism (despite the fact I am Jewish ;)). But, as a long time Linux user, it *is* low maintenance for a power-user's (as opposed to RH or Mandrake) distro. -- Zack Gilburd http://tehunlose.com
