But,= I can say that having used my gentoo desktop for some time, and having use= d many others. I consider my gentoo desktop to be much faster and more resp= onsive than others. The point is how fast a desktop is, is often a personal= measure and not an easily quantifiable measure. P.S. The init scripts and other built-in scripts are so much better that I = don't care about performace under gentoo anyway. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
