8 I concur, gentoo IMO provides more to the OSS with the ability to
9 compile the whole system wit h debug options, yet with a splitdebug
10 feature to prevent the usefulness of full stack traces all the way to
11 glibc degrading run time performance :)
12
13 Also, documentation in gentoo and amongst her users are unparalleled.
14 Often when you just google for a generic problem somebody is having
15 with an app or with their distro in linux in general, more often than
16 not the solution or howto will be found in gentoo-wiki.com or the
17 gentoo forums.
18
19 Debian users are too elitist, most of them will just tell you to RTFM.
20 Gentoo's IRC help room is devoid of such sectarian elitisim. :)

22 Power to the people, freedom for the user.
