That's true, but you must not understand geeks... anything to get a faster and cooler proc. Computer hardware to geeks (as you may know) is like diamonds to girls, except we like computer parts better that diamonds.:-D
Say all you want, but Gentoo is a great distro. I like the fact you are in total command... the distro leaves everything to you to set up.
The update system is great, plus there are very frequent updates to packages. I just type "emerge -uD --newuse world" and bam, it updates.
I like the fact that it is hard(er) than other distros to install. It's not really hard, but it's not so easy that you click a few buttons like in XP.
Gentoo is very easy to configure, and it's been much less of a pain in the arse than those "easy" distros, which got really annoying.
Gentoo is unique. I admit, the "optimizations" are a bit crazy, but... is it really? The optimizations aren't obcessive. And did anyone time a before and after with and without them compiling?
I don't like the idea of a graphical installer for Gentoo. Hopefully they'll let us still install via the terminal.

Obviously, because the site posted on slashdot doesn't load the images, this one does. :-)
With portage, it's not just the package maintainer, it's the public that creates ebuilds also, am I right?
Likewise, fellow Gentoo user.
This is old, old old news. I knew about this 2 nights ago, even had the exploit code, thanks to BugTraq mailing list.

Dangit there's no Linux version. I emailed them asking for one. They'd better make one... I mean, all of their servers run on Linux, so...
