I'm not sure why anyone would ask this kind of general question Maybe she just expected a general type of answer. :) Ric If indeed the OP did mean Gentoo the shortest answer that I would give having used both is that Gentoo is compile focused (you set appropriate flags and each package you install is compiled) versus Fedora taking a Binary approach (try for the set of options that will suit most users). In my experience each approach has advantages and disadvantages. The most obvious being that it is possible to get very lean systems using Gentoo that run well on older hardware. The downside to this is that build time for a Gentoo system can be significantly larger.This also leads to more planning being required in Gentoo if you want to replicate builds across multiple systems with small hardware differences. I hope this helps :) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
