its a lot more complicated than almost any other distro I can think of
Well IMHO linuxfromscratch.org is a bit more complicated than Gentoo as far as the install. It's all copy and paste, but you will learn a lot if you care to, as all the commands are explained in detail in the install manual.
Gentoo is an organized sort of linuxfromscratch, and I definatly like it better.
I thought the whole reason why you guys ran Debian is cause you like to run old software. And then here are some of you sporting new kernel from the 2.6 tree. Next thing you know you'll be using non-free stuff like pine. Heh..
My P133 thanks me every morning for giving it a 2.6 kernel.
The 2.6 kernel is quite a bit faster if stuff like performance matters to you. Think back to when you had a 2.2 kernel on there, why'd you upgrade to 2.4 again?:)
2.6.5 is latest stable but..

my favorite example is that you have to link the correct timezone files by hand, instead of choosing your timezone out of a list. I'll bet you my next month's salary i can type
ln -sf/usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT/etc/localtime
on my Gentoo box before you can use whatever gui list tool you use with your mouse.
Besides that what do you think `ls/usr/share/zoneinfo/` gives you anyway? A fucking list to choose from, imagine that!
I can only guess that you either a) don't know your own timezone or b) think making a simple link is hard work.
Please, go back to Mandrake or whatever you use. Leave Gentoo to those of us who actually want to be more than an ordinary Linux user.
All you anti-Gentoo people really piss me off with all your whining. If you don't like Gentoo then don't use it..
I can't believe people are still playing the game. After a couple weeks the new-ness wore off and it became so boring that my kids wouldn't even play it.
Most PHP coders are not even scriptkiddie level. Most of them barely even know HTML. Spend a day on the php-general list serve and you'll see.
I'd say there are thousands more Perl and C script kiddies out there than there are PHP ones.
Or maybe you're just jealous cause you're still hanging on to Perl like that old pair of shoes that still fits really good. Either way, PHP is here to stay, so deal with it.
Anyone building dynamic websites with anything else is wasting time.
I dunno if it's working, but it sure was a hell of a lot of work for my shop to change all our legitimate email campaigns to conform to it requirements.
It's just like car door locks.. the CAN-SPAM will only keep the already honest guys honest.

So what class A should I block with my firewall?
recursion, it's not just for scripting anymore..
What else does it need to do? This version has been working pretty darn good for me for a long time, on multiple versions of PHP even.

I never tried Debian.. Does it run on Gentoo or what?
It's time to go balloon hunting..
Color me confused.

It crashed when I tried it.. everytime.
give me one good reason to move my 486 to 2.6
Cause it'll run like a 586!

Debian users need new news too I guess.
wtf? I thought it was april fool's day all over again.
nice..

Oh yeah and Gentoo is not a little distro at all, it has over 6500 packages available for emerge.
XFCE is pretty much the ONLY choice for a computer 200mhz 128mb RAM.
I have 10 words for you:

I never tried Debian. Does it run on Gentoo?
Bummer dude.. it works great on 4 different PCs for me, slowest one being a 750Mhz with 128MB of ram.
You do know it does take a couple minutes to start up, right?
Or maybe you're not holding your mouth right.
Invasion of privacy anyone?
Use Freenet.
Yeah I'm almost certain we all have a few unused LCD monitors lying around..
Right over there in the corner with my old 486's.
