First "gentee" is an Open Source Free Programming Language.  You probably 
mean "gentoo".


You can read about gentoo here http://www.gentoo.org/ and hopefully do your 
own research and come to your own conclusions.  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 :)

And Clint gave both barrels with a great answer. I learned something,
for sure. I've got a couple of older machines I will try Gentoo on. :)

Yet one can only hope that he hit the target the OP was holding  Since 
the OP hasn't commented...we can only guess.  :-)

GNU & Linux distribution iso downloader/maintainer/updater

2009-11-04 Thread Renich Bon Ciric
Hello, Fedorans!

I recently discovered Beldi on our repos: https://belug.de/~beldi/

Very interesting. I, also, realized that I need some software like
this that automatically downloads my prefered distros for
avalability/testing purposes.

The only problem with beldi is that I can't make it de-select the
archs/ISOs I don't need/want.

If anyone knows of a program, script or rsync line that could help me
out with the following tasks:

- download the ISO files of my preferred distros
- update the iso files once the new ones are available and delete the
old one (if desired)
- get only my preferred archs
- provides a list of other distros as suggestions/proposals

This sounds like great software to me... is there anything available?
Does anyone have an idea of what to use?

I'm thinking there could be a central website that tracks download
tendencies and, possible, proposes distros based in your tastes.

Oh well, just dreaming about it. If anybody knows of something
similar, please tell me.

It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle!
