Gentoo Linux Reloaded

Posted by michael on from the peer-pressure dept.

nitro322 writes "Daniel Robbins, the leading developer for Gentoo Linux, has written an excellent O'Reilly Network article covering many of the various features of Gentoo, what's coming in version 1.4 (due out SOON), and why you should give it a try. If you haven't tried Gentoo yet, what are you waiting for?"

  1. What am I waiting for? by Spazholio · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I'm waiting for an install process that isn't quite as big a pain in the ass. I've installed several distros, and am relatively competent, however Gentoo's install is royally messed. Boot from the CD, copy files over, uncompress, install, grab another bz2 file, copy it over, etc. It doesn't have to be GUI, but something less draconian would be nice.
