Well I use Gentoo and frankly I am not a Guru. Gentoo is IMHO the "best" source-based Linux distribution. It gives you the power of installing either binary packages or source based "portages". The major advantage is that you can install portages so that you have applications that are tailor-made for your CPU: Why install i386/i586/i686 rpm's when you have Pentium 4 or Athlon XP ? Needless to say if you have a P4 or XP processor you get a speed/performance advantage. Gentoo is closest that Linux gets to the supposedly venerable FreeBSD. Do tell us your experiences with Yoper... -- The only skills I have the patience to learn are those that have no real application in life. -- Calvin -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
