Gentoo was about twice as fast as Mandrake. I have more stuff running now than I did with Mandrake. I have a good bit of server stuff running on Gentoo too. Gentoo is faster *if* you take the time to set it up right. I'm not saying to use insane flags that make you unstable just that you can optimize it for your CPU and such. It certainly helps a lot.

Well, yes, it may be faster a bit, like 1%, maybe 10%=E2=80=A6 But if one=
 distro
would be unbearable slow, gentoo would be too. It won't just be faster
10 times, and yes, that 10% are nice, but not usually worth switching
your distro.

Have a nice day
