About two months ago I did reboot into a gentoo kernel and things did feel a little different but not in a way I could put my fingers on. I put it down to running a huge compile in screen. I *do* feel the incremental improvements in KDE since about 4.3, mostly because new versions come out rapidly. What do you perceive with BFS vs mainline/gentoo/whatever? -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
