I feel your pain :-) I feel the same way about Gentoo - I've used just about everything else under the sun for the work server, but on my personal machines (and the many tinker- toys in the lab at work) I keep coming back to Gentoo. And I keep trying to rebuild packages on Centos with the support I want, not what the dev thinks I want. USE truly does spoil a sysadmin ;-) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
