All responses= off=20 > list please. Thanks. Hi, so i'm using Gentoo because of the flexibility and because there is no "support for SuSE Linux 8 has exprired"-thing. Gentoo systems live on, somehow. A new openssl series, a new gcc, a new glibc - hey! who cares? My Gentoo-system lives on. I don't have to upgrade from SuSE 10.0 to 10.1 or something. Gentoo has the right tools: revdep-rebuild and so on! Simply great work! And oh: PostgreSQL 8.0 is not stable yet? No problem with Gentoo! I just unmask it, and the rest of system keeps using the stable x86-packages. What did you say? You cannot just take the PostGreSQL 8.0 DEB from Debian unstable and install it on your stable SuSE or Debian? It depends on the newer unstable glibc package? LOL! That all the packages are compiled brings so many advantages sometimes. But of course it takes time to install and maintain Gentoo - more time than SuSE or Debian of course. Then this great great baselayout! It's simply brilliant! And it's sooo easy to write your own ebuilds! No "./configure --prefix=3D/path/to/my_sofware"-mess anymore! I write my own ebuilds and the software i need gets installed like any other package.
