  1. Extra packages showing bad form? by rkcallaghan · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Extra Packages page shows some really bad form. Calling the user "you hoser"? I know Gentoo is a hobbyists distro but c'mon, should at least maintain a level of professionalism.

    Any non-trivial instructions for migrating from current profile should appear here, according to the upgrading guide.

    Isn't it amazing how even a specialized distribution like Gentoo can offend Debian fans, not to mention others... Since we all paid nothing for these things, the least we can do is try a few more out and get some balanced opinions before flaming away.

    If you've never installed Debian or Gentoo or Red Hat and don't want to waste a CD-R (or take the time to burn it, or whatever...) most of the distributions (including Knoppix) can be run "as if" from a CD but actually from the hard drive.

    Marc Herbert's Windows Install Page details how to install a new distro using Windows without a CD. He also explains that the instructions are meant to be used for any OS, for example, trying Gentoo on a Fedora Core system. It's worth looking at!

    Think of how much more you'll know after you've installed all the distros out there!
