    Why would "compilation" impact a hard drive? It has no more impact than watching lengthy porn videos (normally done during the compilation).

  6. How Ironic by Ctrl+Alt+De1337 · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's always ironic to me wherever Gentoo is discussed on Slashdot because Gentoo has struck me as the ultimate RTFM distribution. Think about that for a second. RTFM required + Slashdot = ...

    No issues with HD. And don't worry, here is the quick howto, it's pretty straight forward.

    Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your masturbation.

    Your joke was very funny. You should be a stand-up comedian.

    I'm a current OS X user and I have recently come into an older PIII box.

    Thanks for the mental image..

    how Gentoo generates heat and passion. If you don't like it, don't use it, period. Why waste outrageous amount of times explaining to the world that it's stupid and that its users are insane? In the time it took you guys who posted that kind of comments, you could have emerge'd and updated a Gentoo box. ;-)

  14. Gentoo p.u. by zixor · · Score: 2, Funny

    My most memorable experience with Gentoo was leaving my Duron 800 (with MSI motherboard) compiling the latest greatest Mozilla over a weekend in the heat of summer (29+ celsius outside, with AC turned off by building maintenance during weekends) and having the mobo's capacitors blow and spew their gooey liquid centers all over. Luckily the drive survived. and my use flags were so vague about architectures that sticking the drive in a P3-600 worked just fine. Still, it kinda put me off the "compile every damned app and the kitchen sink" mentality for good ...
