I have to totally agree with the Gentoo is not for racers part. In fact for servers if I ever manage a server again. I'll probably run gentoo on it. Mainly becuase 1- you install only what you want 2- you build from source (this is good! for security) 3- SELinux is really good in gentoo. 4- Going to dev versions of needed (for patches for example) doesn't means you need to wait 6 months for it. > -- > Sincerely, > > Antony Jepson / <anton...@gmail.com> / GPG Key: 0xFA10ED80 >
