I just concurred my fear and jumped to installing gentoo! So far so good! Before installing on my laptop and desktop, I am trying on virtual box and the system is running Fluxbox very good.(default profile) Now I am thinking about managing USE flags. What if I disable everything in the make.conf ( I mean USE="-*" ) and gradually add the needed flags to package.use? I am not trying to have severe control, I just want to expand my knowledge! thanks.
