Sorry but I am very dependant of the deb files to install EVERYTHING on my Ubuntu Hardy, if I change distro it would be a GnewSense because for me is the most hardcore of all linux (no USB sounds like a challenge to me jejeje)

Ask Ballmer about the.dll issue with IE. Also about the DNS fail “HEAVEN IN FALLING” and the “new” MS comertials

Gentoo has a learning curve, but not one that is too steep for people who understand Linux well already. Luckily they have a very well written guide available. If you have a few spare hours and you don’t mind working without a GUI for a while, then you should give Gentoo a try. Because it is custom compiled for your computer it works out faster that every other distro out there.

Of course, the repos always download the newest source code of whatever program you are trying to install and then compile it. This gives you the advantage of the latest release, but the hassle of compiler errors.

I’ve thought about trying Gentoo Linux but I’ve always thought it may be just a little too geeky for me. How is it?
