So, when it's doing its compile thing, does it ever have problems?  It
seems that a good chunk of the programs out there don't compile cleanly
without some mods.  Gentoo sounds cool, but I don't want to have to babysit
the thing while everything is compiling.

Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Installing with LVM support

I've been using the latest Gentoo for ABOUT A MONTH. I LOVE IT! Stable
as ever, and pretty lightweight. I love their portage system.

The install went great, but at least on my 900 Duron w/ 512mb RAM and 2
40GB hd's, it took about 24 hours to get a useable system, which
included compiling teh kernel, x, kde and many utilities, as well as
gcc....

gentoo rocks, just not for newbies.
