Thanks to reading the Gentoo ‘about’ page (Gentoo Linux — About Gentoo Linux) I’m beginning to realize that Gentoo Linux might be my next distribution to try. In fact, maybe sometime next week I might switch over. If I do I’ll keep y’all posted on how that works. Here’s one of the things that really hooked me from the Gentoo site:

Thanks to a technology called Portage, Gentoo Linux can become an ideal secure server, development workstation, professional desktop, gaming system, embedded solution or something else — whatever you need it to be. Because of its near-unlimited adaptability, we call Gentoo Linux a metadistribution.
