<p>It got the list to wake up :D</p>
<p>If the emerge process involved a -O3 setting on compilation I would say gentoo provided value over other methods. As it is it merely provides source distribution for end user compilation. So I get more work with the same outcome. I can get similar performance with binary package installation from any reasonably managed distro.</p>
<p>All that said, I'm now having fantasies of an -O3 iteratively compiled gcc/glibc HPC platform.</p>
<p>and fantasies of the budget to buy the hardware to run it on :-} I'm thinking four 16 core 2.8GHz Opterons with 1TB RAM would be a good starting point.</p>
<p>Sigh</p>

FYI, the ALE group is more of a Debian/Ubutu group mainly. I
think<br>
those that use RHEK only use it with work.<br>
