Is it simply that we get to compile our custom kernel and the others just give you a kernel compiled the way they want, or is there more to it than that? Most other distros you do not compile from source. The extra time it takes to compile is a trade off for the increase in performance.

[gentoo-user] Alsa, sound all problems solved!
Title: Alsa, sound all problems solved! Some may remember my problems here getting sound to work. Right now I am listening to mp3s in XMMS using ALSA as a regular user. Since I last fought sound, I have upgraded my motherboard so I am using Alsa and snd-intel8x0 (Intel 82801BA/BAM /proc/pci says). Here is how I got it going for those that may have problems: 1. Recompiled the kernel with no sound support. 2. Followed the instructions in the ALSA guide to the letter - with one exception: It says to add sound card support as a module and no other drivers, I added support for Intel ICH as a module as well. Would not work without it. 3. Followed the rest of the steps to get Alsa going outside KDE. One exception: In alsamixer, the command in code listing 3.5 'alsamixer set Master 100 unmute' and 'alsamixer set PCM 100 unmute' does not actually do either, you have to us the up arrow to increase the sound AND press 'm' to unmute. Amixer is the same (is amixer a link to alsamixer?) 4. In KDE I had to set arts to not start when KDE does. Aside from the above I followed the instructions to the letter. I do not feel so stupid now, I got so frustrated trying to make it work last time. I just wanted to pass this on in case it helps someone else.

I'll add my two cents :) I have not used an Intel chipset MB since an early pentium (HX chipset I think). Never had a problem with VIA on any OS (Win 9.x, 2000, XP, Corel, RH, Mandrake, Gentoo). Now that I said that, I just picked up a great deal on a i845 chipset MB last night. Once I get a P4 power supply (I did not know they were not ATX, but ATX12V) I will see how it runs under Gentoo. My only concern is the manual does not say exactly what sound chipset it is, but it is "AC97" compliant so I should be fine.
