-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi charlie, http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo is a source based distro. This is the biggest difference I think from most distros, anotherwords, its built from the ground up as all source. Gentoo has the advantage of letting a newbie or someone who doesn't want to spend much time compiling software start with a precompiled system, or letting the experienced person whow ants to be brave build their system from the bootstrap all the way to simple packages. This is a very very brief discription since I have a killer headache, and am too tired to really goo into details right now. I would suggest looking at the gentoo website, and checking out the docs for yourself. they will give you a much better explanation then I can currently. I'm more then willing to answer any questions that you may have.:) I'm going to brag a little, and say that gentoo has the best docs I've seen so far when it comes to distros. The documentation is clear, and explains a great deal. On Tue, 30 Dec 2003, Charles Crawford wrote: > What is Gentoo?
