I don't really care what people run, so long as it makes sense for their environment. I have machines running NeXTstep and GNU/Hurd, but, obviously, I don't put them in production environments. Same goes with Gentoo. I use it on personal machines only. > Actually mentioning Gentoo was a good way of getting past the "so > have you ever heard of Linux" conversations I ran into last time I went > to > a LUG.

That said, it's a very nicely put together release of Debian Unstable, as are Xandros, Progeny, etc. I would happily start a new user on it, as opposed to Novelldrake, Fedora, etc. etc. For production servers, however, I still stick to things with somewhat better QA -- NetBSD, Debian Stable. I had been big on FreeBSD, but FreeBSD 5 is just horrid. -- S. Bergeron, [EMAIL PROTECTED] No, I don't need a gmail invite, thanks. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
