This doesn't get pointed out enough. I started out on Mandrake myself |
| 10 |
and as soon as I ran into a problem, there was such a drastic learning |
| 11 |
curve, dealing with RPMs was horrendous at the time, it just wasn't |
| 12 |
worth it to me to dig to find what was below the pretty layer when the |
| 13 |
pretty layer didn't cut it. Then I used Slackware, which was great for |
| 14 |
me, did exactly what I wanted when I asked and absolutely nothing I |
| 15 |
didn't ask for... but it wasn't until I jumped into LFS that I really |
| 16 |
learned a great deal about *how* Linux actually works. Gentoo is the |
| 17 |
only place I've found comparable documentation to LFS, and even when |
| 18 |
dealing with other distros I find myself relying on Gentoo and LFS |
| 19 |
documentation more *each* than all others combined. |
