Have you ran debian lately, can you even say its a current binary distro |
2 |
(current as of redhat 6) and why do people not like using mandrake and redhat |
3 |
after they start using linux one they are a company and not a community and |
4 |
two RPM's based distro break |
5 |
|
6 |
Is there a way to make like a i586 or i686 based distro but optimize it for |
7 |
all the above faster processors ( i know there a reason for -mcpu= ) i |
8 |
really dont think i386 and i486 binary's are needed (debian works great for |
9 |
these cause the systems are just about as old as debian current) |
10 |
|
11 |
I didnt want to cause a flame war over this, this is the type of response i |
12 |
get from debian user's i dont want gentoo becoming like debian in this |
13 |
sence. |
14 |
|
15 |
Another issue is portablity how hard is it to release source based cd's |
16 |
(containing all the gentoo source which possible could be updated weekly or |
17 |
monthly) this would target mostly dialup linux users or users with restricted |
18 |
net access. this was worked on then kinda disapeared . ? |
