back when I was still using gentoo, I'm on ubuntu now, I like the oregan state
university mirror, or the default. Never really had issues with too much
slow down. Are you really on a fast enough pipe to notice?

It's a little bit different format than lspci shows, but if you do a search

Nah, Gentoo is very nice, for those who have time to customize everything and
build everything from source. Ubuntu just works. I don't have as much time to
tinker as I used to, but I still love linux. So I moved to an environment that
allows me to use my preferred environment, and is set up
At SCaLE, one of the Google people (Dan Kegel, I think) said that Unbuntu

Only takes about an hour to install.
