Gentoo has many advantages, the whole "compile from source" of course is the main stream, but add to it: control over the system, dependencies and software by using emerge, either with GRP or downloading source elsewhere, scripts for updating, config file protection, a extense (the best) documentation, glsa check and fix, special gentoo patches for a lot of apps, the feeling that you're not alone (this list ilustrates it), and so much more, I am pretty sure there are dozens more, but I got tired... > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
