Like a lot of the fellow repliers, I tried Suse, Red Hat, and used Mandrake for a long time.Out of curiosity, who here would say they have experienced any type of emotional discrimination because they use Gentoo? I find this in correspondence with other Linux people sometimes. Is Gentoo far enough "out there" to warrant this type of attitude? It seems like these people are conservatives unwilling to roll with the changes to me.

What really gets my goat is the implied connection with users coming from Mandrake to Gentoo.
Some folks out in the wild think that mostly ex-Drakers are Gentoo-ricers. How did that
connection start? Like a fellow Gentooer said, I switched because I could finally get my programs
to compile and work as the devs intended, not fooled with idiotic distro-specific patches that
always broke stuff.
Lastly, although I run a ~x86 machine and sometime things break, I love portage and think
that is the best way to manage a Linux system period.
