After all it is my distribution and you are right Corey about the pitfalls one faces when installing that system! I pulled out the remaining hair I had trying to do it but it was still worth it! Gentoo Gave me one of the best systems I ever had and my Nintendo 64 emulators along with my ripping fast KDE applications prove that point alone. I'm pulling for Gentoo because the community needs an source based distro and LFS may be great as a learning tool but in terms of practicality you can't expect one individual to apply patches, compiler optimizations for each application that they compile. I'm rooting for Gentoo because it is the way to go! By the way, where are the emoticon selection tool. The only thing I remember how to do is the simple smile face. But I'm sad without those tools. Will this show up? :-(<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3083','devin'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3083','devin','I hope so too!

I am so glad that Patrick can make a living on his passion (although its not a particularly huge living). I've thought about LFS, but I don't know if I want to compile all that stuff just for the sake of doing it. I really like the lazy tools like emerge and etc-update. Of course, once the thing's installed, I'd just have to install security updates, which is pretty basic. Perhaps I'll read the book and have it at that.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3069','mrcorey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3069','mrcorey','I totally agree with you, Drew.
