I think you are a bit wrong. I'm not a Gentoo supporter, I used Debian since I
can't image a way to handle packages better than it. OTOH the best OS I ever
try is NetBSD. It uses pkgsrc as main packages system which, similar is needed
in order to install most of the third party packages (without wh

I totally agree with your
comments. I have been using gentoo in corporate environments for the
past 5 years mainly as servers but also as desktop systems and yet have
to find another distro to compare with its flexibility and package
management.

Ubuntu is an utter nightmare to use on anything but a "workstation"
system. They ship brok
+1 on the Gentoo misconception. It's a very flexible, very easy, and
very good distro.

Are you referring to manual installation of packages or using the
package management system to install packages in alternate locations? If
it's the latter:

I use Gentoo. I have complete control over my system, and Gentoo gives
me that. Plus I have half as many packages installed on my system
because they aren't compiled with every DE intergrated into it, like
they were on debian.

I've been encouraged to take a look at Arch lately by a friend that
likes it a lot. I moved to Gentoo from Slackware 8 a while ago and
that's highlighted even more by the fact that they're at Slackware 12.2
now and pushing 13 (wow, it's been a while).
I'll probably try them both out again now that
1. Gentoo
2. FreeBSD
However, ccurrently using Arch on my netbook since it uses a flash HD
(SSD) and i dont want to perform too many writes to it.
Ideal fantasy: LFS + some simple package manager (pkgsrc? something new?)

Try a binary distro if you don't want to kill your HD :(

Agreed, OpenBSD is far from perfect, but it sucks much less than any
other *nix system out there this days.

I thought we had agreed against having multiple drawing backends...
this will add considerable complexity for no gain at all.
