Actually I think a binary version would be pretty cool. I use Gentoo |
27 |
mainly because it tracks new versions of packages so much better than |
28 |
debian. In fact, I think I switched from debian out of frustration |
29 |
waiting for debian to package kde 3.1. Compiling from source is cool |
30 |
too but it's not what keeps me on Gentoo. |
