Looking breifly at the Gentoo Developer conference. I came across GenUX (actually I have now downloaded and had a quick go at it). It seems to me that they have put pre-built binaries on a LiveCD with a GUI front end for their installer.
Haven't tried it yet (downloading now), but it kinda just seems wrong...
I came to gentoo from an LFS system because I wanted better update support. But most importantly I still wanted to understand and control all the little details, something that you'll probably miss using a gui wrapper.
I'm going to give it a spin to see how it drives, but I'm not certain I'm going to like it...
Others, like John Joliet, may really see some value in it; inferring from things he's posted in the past, he likes to get a base system up quickly then recompile components as needed.
What's your spin, John? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
