Gentoo evolved, to my understanding, partly because there was a gcc which compiled something faster. So, when gentoo was first on the scene, that gcc compiled ______ better than other distro's, which gave better performance. Now everyone uses the same gcc and that benefit isn't really there anymore. -Thufir -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
