This doesn't get pointed out enough. I started out on Mandrake myself
and as soon as I ran into a problem, there was such a drastic learning
curve, dealing with RPMs was horrendous at the time, it just wasn't
worth it to me to dig to find what was below the pretty layer when the
pretty layer didn't cut it. Then I used Slackware, which was great for
me, did exactly what I wanted when I asked and absolutely nothing I
didn't ask for... but it wasn't until I jumped into LFS that I really
learned a great deal about *how* Linux actually works. Gentoo is the
only place I've found comparable documentation to LFS, and even when
dealing with other distros I find myself relying on Gentoo and LFS
documentation more *each* than all others combined.
