I may not have been as clear as I wanted to be. With the increase in my download speed, the bottleneck to Youtube/etc performance is now my PC. I *HAVE* decided to replace it. The only question is with what. As per the subject line, I'm asking if current Dells have any showstoppers for Gentoo. If not, I'll probably go with a Dell. My usage patterns may be different from yours, but Dells have lasted more years for me than other brands or custom-built machines. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
