Gentoo after DRobbins
I made the move when rh stopped free distros. Fedora?
A warmed over dead rat.
Anyone who has to install cyrus from source on a rh box will know the aggravation of bastardised rpms missing vital libraries.
Never again.
That alone was my major motivator. Now I look back and think "Thank god".
Note: gentoo installation is very lowlevel. Not for beginers
Gentoo is not a distro but a meta-distro. That is not hair splitting.
If you try to install it and succeed, you will understand this.
drobbins, you have acheived a wonder, even if it doesn't pay your power bill.
Regards
dad
