Dave, I couldn't agree more. |

I never tried BSD myself, but I did try to coexist with Redhat and then |
| 4 |
SuSE and both left a bitter aftertaste. :) Whereas Redhat is sort of |
| 5 |
optimizable, SuSE was not very tractable in that regard. But sadly |
| 6 |
enough, both Redhat and SuSE are slowly but surely approaching Windoze. |

With Gentoo, not only can you tune and performance-optimize your box, you |
| 9 |
retain the feel and stability that is always advertised about Linux. |

|

I am getting brave enough to consider the idea of using Gentoo to deliver |
| 12 |
laptop-aided presentations for scientific seminars. I haven't researched |
| 13 |
that topic very much yet, but this is where stability and dependability |
| 14 |
would count the most for me - the ability not to worry that my Powerpoint |
| 15 |
in Windoze will crash during a talk. I haven't seen anyone present with a |
| 16 |
Linux laptop yet... Any of you tried it? I'd love to know!! |

Many thanks to Gentoo again... and Happy New Year to all :) |

I just thought I would take the time to make the positive reply. |

GENTOO is the best distro I have ever used. I'm a BSD guy, and M$ (hate |
| 28 |
to say it) but Gentoo is good enough that my primary workstation at home |
| 29 |
is now gentoo, with XP on my secondary box. |
| 30 |
It just works. I understand it, there is no crazy archane structures, it |
| 31 |
just works. I used to use SuSE but as often as not, if I could do it on |
| 32 |
XP I would. Now, I only use XP as a back up. |
