Gentoo is the best distribution I have used (I haven't used too many: |
| 2 |
ubuntu, fedora, gentoo). I love the USE flags. I love watching (and |
| 3 |
questioning) what is going to be installed. I love emerge. |
| 4 |
Supposedly gentoo lacks being able to have a system "just work" |
| 5 |
without thinking about anything. But in my experience on linux, this |
| 6 |
simply isn't the case anywhere. With ubuntu, for example, I had |
| 7 |
trouble with sound and ethernet cards that I could never figure out... |
| 8 |
and the kind of answers I get on their forums drive me insane ("my |
| 9 |
uncle once said that his cousin typed this magical command and it |
| 10 |
worked fine for a little while so maybe try that"). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
And what's the deal with these "major release versions" of the other |
| 13 |
distros? Why do that? |

Thank you to all the people who contribute to it... and to those who |
| 16 |
are giving great advice/solutions on this list! |
