    Too bad Gentoo isn't the only one with a PORTS clone.

    Ever looked at Crux, Arch, or if you want "the original", BSD?

    Gentoo isn't very unique in respect to portage. ;-)

  2. Knee-jerk reactions at work by rs6krox · · Score: 1 · on Debian Fastest-Growing Distro, Says Netcraft

    At work we dumped Redhat because they stopped support for workstations. There was no budget for their Enterprise package, and other admins thought that Fedora was too bleeding edge. So, another admin got us using Arch Linux. That's right, we went from using one of the top distros, because of no support, to using one of the smallest distros, with no support. It's nice and minimalist,though.

    Arch Linux has had 2.6.0 in it's repos for awhile now.

    Agreed. In that vein you have Arch Linux, based off Crux, but comes with way more packages on the cd, and simplifies things for newcomers a lot.

    Yea, they're really going to hate Pacman then.

    Hell, those guys didn't even try to hide the name.

    Maybe Arch or Yoper. They have beta with 3.1rc.
    Mandrake also released 9.1beta1 lately. Haven't try it though.

    It really amazing when looking at Distro Watch
    How many distro's for Linux there are around. Some spouting optimised for 686 or desktop or server env. If you really are into Linux for the long haul, most of us usually do end up either rebuilding our packages or upgrading to a newer version before the actual vendor does. Be it because the package was fsck-up or because or some vendor favors a package verses another and doesn't look at the big picture of the software overall extending the software to it's fullest capabilities. my current dist is Arch Linux. Shameless plug I know, but this dist for the most part meets my current needs.
