I completely agree with Alan, Gentoo is a metadistro, and it provides |
| 20 |
(by Handbook) a LOT of ways to install, spending time on a new CD |
| 21 |
every 6 months just to support hardware, while you still need to type |
| 22 |
the commands yourself is a waste of time, and the Installer has proven |
| 23 |
its not worth the trouble. Its like reinventing the wheel, as we |
| 24 |
already have TONS of small, updated LiveCDs all over the web. You just |
| 25 |
CAN'T compare a binary distro install with Gentoo, that's like |
| 26 |
comparing a Bettle with a Landrover, just because both of them have |
| 27 |
explosing engines. |

The only thing I like about new releases are the nift livecd gensplash |
| 30 |
themes... Lol. |

Filosofia de TI: Programadores de verdade consideram o conceito "o que |

voc礙 v礙 矇 o que voc礙 tem" t瓊o ruim em editores de texto quanto em |

mulheres. N瓊o, o programador de verdade quer um editor de texto do |

estilo "voc礙 pediu, voc礙 levou" - complicado, indecifr獺vel, poderoso, |
| 39 |
impiedoso, perigoso. |
