Hi everyone,

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.

Has anyone tried it, if so what is your feedback?

GenUX is available at http://www.gen-ux.com/

Regards,
Devraj

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?
