As a developer who is trying to get juice out of the system gentoo seems very attractive.
But one problem I faced is lack of eco-system around the distribution. I would like to see people making binary gentoo packages and exchanging them. I do'nt see any other way to install system in two hours. When I tried it took me 3 days to get and compile all the packages that I needed. And I am not of kind who would try too much stuff anymore. I can list all the stuff I need in one line. galeon, evolution, development tools, gaim, xfce, emacs, some other support utils. Time period required to compile major part of the packages are given below. This I am reporting for a PII with 192 MB RAM XFree86 6 hours Mozilla 5 hours evolution and support tools like bonobo, gnome etc 5 hours linux kernel 45 minutes xfce - 20 minutes glibc - 4 hours Supreet _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
