I think me and Alan are the top posters here so I guess me and him like helping folks. Alan has a lot of server type experience and I have a bit of desktop experience. We may have some overlap there tho. Me, I'm a desktop user and I like to run a distro that I'm proud of. In the past, it seemed Gentoo sort of lead on some things. Now, it seems to follow instead. If I want a distro that just follows, I could have stayed with Mandrake/Mandriva. It follows Redhat if I recall correctly. It also uses the init* stuff too. Which as I pointed out before is one reason I left that. If I got to use one with Gentoo, that just takes one reason for using Gentoo and all the compiling stuff away. Gentoo has some good points but lately, they seem to be getting lost on the point scale. Well, I got divorced once. I just hope reason will pop up and I don't have to shift something important to me again. This would be as bad as me divorcing my ex. Heck, maybe worse. I been using Gentoo looooong before I met my ex. < sighs > Dale :-) :-)
