Maybe you should read up on it before you say things like that. Gentoo only releases the stable verions of everything. You can get all the unstable versions of everything if you like though. So it's very stable. Try and do a search for gentoo benchmarks and I think you'll find that gentoo out performs most other distros. The only slow part about gentoo is installation, 'cause everything is done by compiling the source. It's all done with an "emerge" function that downloads the source and compiles it to the specifications you have set in a USE var. I'm sorry, but apt-get isn't the answer all. You have to install the program, then program-devel, then program-snmp, then program-mysql, then program-whatever. It's annoying. It's all a matter of opinion though. How mad would you be if I told you I'm writing this from Win2k Pro, with MS Outlook, sent from MS Exchange? Ha! Everything has it's advantages. -Josh _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
