I've just tried GENTOO LINUX 1.2. This distro is fantastic..(I think..).
Any one using GENTOO LINUX like to share information with me..?
This week will will be interesting week..cause MANDRAKE have 9, RH have 8,SUSE have 8.2 and debian have3.0....
Woww this is coooollll...(I'm starting to get rid of my microsoft stuff.. :cool: )
gentoo 1.2 is good their portage system is the best ive seen yes im willing to go out on a limb and say better than ports
im on gentoo 1.4 its a little unstalbe dont know what to put it down to gcc3.x the fact its a rc1
well good luck with it have fun i know i did
rioter
Yeah, I have to agree. 1.4 is a little on the rocky side, but I think that's mostly because of the move to GCC 3. Portage blows everything else out of the water, and I think this is the direction Linux package management is headed in the future. Once they get reverse dependency mapping into portage, it will be as feature complete as any other package management system out there. I'd say it's comparable to apt-get, even as it is.
I'm building a new 1.4 system on my shiny new 120GB ATA-133 Raid-0 array as we speak, and I can't wait to run some benchmarks to see how it smokes. :D
[EDIT] After a long night of compiling, I now have some answers. 2 60GB ATA-133 drives in software raid-0 with 256k chunks and ext3, hdparm -tT returns:
All I can say is, if you're not using Linux you're just missing out on all the fun. :DQuote:

SuSE won't have 8.2 this year, 8.1 yes and it is available in Europe now and in the US i/2 weeks later.Quote:
