Linux is a fine DOS-like operating system with many uses, the number one of which is compiling the Linux kernel itself.

Compiling the kernel is an activity that must be accomplished time and time over again, sometimes several times per day. It is recommended that the Linux kernel be recompiled at least once per day on the most critical systems. Doing otherwise would likely result in system instability.

Since compiling the kernel is such an important activity, Linux users often benchmark and compare machines solely based on kernel compile times. Most distributions provide the source code of the kernel to the users in an effort to ease the learning curve of the unfriendly environment.

There are many reasons to compile the Linux kernel. Here are a few:

-Installation of new hardware such as a USB mouse
-Application of daily security patches
-Training towards RedHat Certified Systems Engineer certification
-Impressing friends, mates and family
-Avoiding SCO lawsuits
-etc

Please be careful when compiling your Linux kernel. You could hose your system.

I really get annoyed at this argument. I've only seen one article showing this, I believe they used some stupid cflags. Can you backup your claim?

You must be smoking crack, gentoo is the easiest distro around to install, can't you follow simple, clear and well documented instructions?
