    I started out with redhat 9, and although it did what I wanted for the most part, when I had a problem, it was usually pretty hard to fix since I didn't really know what was going on. Now that I've done a couple gentoo installs, though only stage 3, I must admit, I know much better what causes certain problems. In addition, I love being always up-to-date and not having to worry about cruft.


    Yes because it's always easier to diagnose your custom compiled programs yourself instead of getting help from the 10k+ other users who use the exact same software package.

    Is your brain fully functional? A 400 MHz PPC chip is much faster than the equivilant Pentium. This has been established. Now, you will notice that he said he has a 366 MHz processer. This means that, even if you had a Pentium, your's would be significantly faster. I will point out, now, that my 233 MHz powerbook does *not* play videos, even when using a dedicated X-server+mplayer, with nothing else running.
