Here's a simple comparison: Gentoo has 1389 packages, and Debian has over |
| 2 |
3500. If this is true, I'd certainly rather have Debian, with apt-get, unless |
| 3 |
there's some way you can get your Portage features to work on .deb packages. |
| 4 |
Also, I can easily tell apt-get to only get free packages -- free as in |
| 5 |
freedom of speech, not free beer. (read: free as in GNU or Free Software or |
| 6 |
GPL/LGPL'd open-source software) |

I like the idea of setting global configuration settings for a package |
| 9 |
manager, but it just doesn't work with your current setup. Besides, I don't |
| 10 |
have so many programs that I have trouble configuring them all. |

And please -- let the kernel be custom-built! |
