[ale] apt-get boot cd?

[Tony Ucedavelez]

You've gotten my attention.....besides your laptop installation, do you 
have other Gentoo installations (i.e - for use as a web, nfs, etc server - 
if it has that use?)?  I've only used RH so far and occasionally get probs 
when installing on different types of hardware.

Thanks in advance for any information.

I'll bite. I *was* a RedHat fan since 4.2. In that time I tried Debian
and even 2 or 3 of the BSD's. I even did a few Linux From Scratches
(sp?)

I have switched to Gentoo and cannot imagine anything else. It did take
about a day and a half to get the system built on my laptop. This included
the base install, X, a windowmanager, and a few select tools and programs.

The ebuild system is easy to learn, modify, and use. My only learning curve
was switching from RH's /etc/rc.d/ setup to Gentoo's /etc/default
/etc/init.d. No big deal.

I'll never go back. Of course I wouldn't recommend Gentoo to my
mother, but then again, that's not Gentoo's purpose.
