That is how I describe Gentoo, Linux from Scratch with a package manager |
| 17 |
and other neat tools. I think Gentoo is about as close to that as it |
| 18 |
gets. We all know portage is getting really good and full of features |
| 19 |
over the past few years. I may not agree with Zac on some recent |
| 20 |
default settings but he sure has pushed portage a long long ways |
| 21 |
forward. If only Gentoo could wash dishes now. File a feature request |
| 22 |
on b.g.o? LOL |
