With Gentoo, that's really only for the preliminary installation. Once you |
26 |
get the system up and running, you're free to modify it in whatever way |
27 |
pleases you. |

For binary distributions, especially those that deal in the enterprise |
30 |
sector, the one-size-fits-all approach is damn near mandatory because most |
31 |
admins run with the distro-provided kernel and typically are not custom |
32 |
compiling them. |
33 |
|
34 |
But we're not a binary distro. We're a source-based distro, although it's |
35 |
possible to run Gentoo in a binary fashion. As such, we're not necessarily |
36 |
beholden to the "one-size-fits-all" approach. |
