I think Gentoo is a great learning tool, but a pain if you have multiple systems to configure similarly and/or anything slower than 3GHz (yes, I know about distcc). I didn't care for the suffering enough to keep using Gentoo, but had fun with it. Definitely much easier than LFS. > I will say that I was not able to use > apt-get install method with FC3 (because I'm running AMD64), so that > may change things. Known problem with apt, it doesn't support biarch systems at all well. On non-x86_64 systems, there are rarely if ever any "pre-req hell this, bombed compile that" problems. And both yum and smart do work on x86_64. -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
