Feed up with a few other distros, i am giving GENTOO another look. |
| 2 |
I tried it when it first came out and had .. hmmm. .... a bit of trouble. |
| 3 |
I assume things are alot more refined now. |

I am looking for a distro to base a LIVE DVD (or CD) from, |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Can anyone comment on how good GENTOO LIVE CD is on device detection, |
| 8 |
in particular Network cards, USB, and to a lesser extent graphics/monitors. |
| 9 |
If someone, in the know, could compare GENTOO against say SUSE or Knoppix in that |
| 10 |
area, that would be very helpfull. |
| 11 |
I produce a LIVE DVD for a company, and SUSE has made a pretty good bases, |
| 12 |
but their release cycle is not to quick, and of course GENTOO, a good thing in this case, |
| 13 |
has almost a perpetual release cycle. |
| 14 |
In particular, DELL has started selling PC's with no PS2 ports for keyboards/mice, |
| 15 |
and thats taking its toll on distros that were released last year. |
| 16 |
So I am contemplating moving to GENTOO, but I can't test the device recognition |
| 17 |
on other then a few machines I have, but when I release it to my target audience, |
| 18 |
it has to work 99.99% across 400+ employees computers, which can be just about |
| 19 |
any computer of recent vintage, including of course brand new Dells with no ps2 ports. |
