....i can add to this, as i've been using gentoo for my primary home and work systems for 2 months, as well as converted a friend.
gentoo brings to linux what *bsd has always had: a ports system. now, i can `emerge world` and rebuild my entire system. i can edit the build script if i need to (only once so far, and it wasn't really necessary in that case).
some people have said before that new free *nix users go thru a linux stage, and mature into freebsd. i'll tell you this: gentoo has given me what is nice about bsd under linux, for my desktop, and encouraged me to explore bsd for my server systems. it's a little early to use gentoo on a production system (in my opinion, and the opinion of the maintainers as well), however the future does look bright, not only for the (meta)distro itself, but for portage, the ports system management tool.
if you want a decent system using moderately out of date binary packages and dependency hell, use debian or an rpm based distro (don't flame, i was a debian guy once too! if this is what meets your needs, by all means use it). if you want the latest bleeding edge source packages (including the bugs, it's true), and a system compiled to your specifications, with your optimization flags, with your choice (gcc 2.95 or 3.1, and possibly intel's ICC soon) of compiler - then try gentoo.

amen. there is *no* reason to mail anyone an executable program, and as such no mail server should accept them. it's common sense, kinda like not having an open relay.
is kinda unique. we have a server (mine) with a lot of music on it, most (i won't say all) of which i have ripped myself or downloaded due to the loss of the cd itself. the unique part is that we have people who live here at the workplace (fairly remote place), and therefore use the computers after work hours for personal stuff.
having a limited amount of bandwidth, mp3 downloading became a real hog, so here's the solution that has worked for us:
during the day, i block audiogalaxy, kaaza, gnutella and the like, but at 5 pm, the firewall opens up to allow it. given that we already have plenty of music here already, no one has complained - and everyone has headphones on:)

nothin a little shell script couldn't fix! oh, windows....
my closest meetup is in boise, idaho.

i scrolled halfway down the first page, and am yet to find a post that didn't qualify for -1 offtopic.
1 - fleetwood mac - edge of seventeen
2 - ?
3 - nirvana, smells like teen spirit
4 - ?
5 - black sabbath, paranoid
should have been "criticizing UnitedLinux". remind me to preview next time....
slashdot posts stories criticizing, and then this gets modded to troll? offtopic maybe, but not a troll...
i like PNG more and more every day :)
ugh...no doubt. you think someone would have released a patch to fix that bs by now

omg, how often to thunder k7's blow? i have a major db server with one!
yeah, but that's one of those "don't copy videotapes" laws. pretty much anyone is capable downloading the stuff.
oh, you mean like emacs?
