    Try Gentoo instead!

    It's true to the idea of free software (everything from the source, man!) and a joy to upgrade.

    Try it, you won't regret it!

      Building from source isn't really that big of a deal most of the time. Most applications build very quickly on my machine. I've had some long builds, but most applications install in a few minutes.

      Now, if you're going to rebuild X or KDE, that's a task you should set to happen prior to going to bed at night.

      One of the nice things about Gentoo is that you do have most libs already on your computer. So if you want to build something that doesn't have an ebuild from source, it's relatively painless most of the time (unlike many other distributions where you can easily get into dependancy hell trying to pull that off).
