the pro's for three distros: gentoo: portage is bigger than yum and just as easy to use live cd sabayon: binary builds of portage (for a fee, IIRC) anaconda fedora: live cd anaconda The drawback to fedora is, to my mind, rpm and yum. portage is superior. it's also capable, as sabayon has demonstrated, of distributing binaries. Please switch to something like portage, which builds from source. This would eliminate, or at least, significantly reduce, the need for me to do things like build lshw from source because, and correct me if I'm wrong, it'd be easier to leave "in" and would require less maintenance. Assuming all other things to be equal, as in only GPL 2 stuff is maintained, isn't portage easier to maintain? Wouldn't that mean more stuff for me (I mean users)?
