hello all, this is my first time in a bbs, i just whanted to say that gentoo great and that rapler was here :D take car and retro tech for life, stay saf
It's probably an unpopular opinion, but if you're going to go as far as using gentoo, you may as well just get all the source yourself to compile. With gentoo, you're getting the source packages from gentoo... why not just get it from "the source" ? :). I like the idea behind gentoo, but it'd be better if it grabbed source packages from the official distribution sites. Which I know isn't really feasible with so many different packages, because you know at some point it will break. It takes like two weeks to get a full system up and going for me that way, but it really does run nice when you just build everything yourself.
