gentoo linux

[MBSmith at dstsystems.com]

I don't know a lot about it, but I'm one night ahead of you.  I started an 
install last night, and it's an interesting process to say the least.

You'll need broadband, as after getting up and running from the boot CD, 
everything is pulled over the network and compiled fresh to suit your 
architecture.  I'm ready to go home now for part two tonight, and build 
the kernel and hopefully get a system up and running, but it shouldn't be 
too much trouble, as the documentation so far has been very clear and 
straight forward.

Basically, it's time consuming, but I hopefully it will be a fast, 
bloat-free installation I end up with, so it will be worth it. This review 
has inspired me:

I saw someone on the list saying that they were  running Gentoo linux.  
How do you like it?  Any problems getting it  all up & running?  
 
I'm looking into it as well, might just install it  tonight.  What better 
fun on a cold and rainy tuesday...
