it worked for what I used it for but I didn't bother doing anything else with it since i couldn't use it to test some stuff for work.

ohhh, I loved Gentoo's updating features.

But if that didn't work... it was difficult to work with.

I wish they had that in Slackware, I'd be right at home. I'd say byebye to windows after a few more releases of Firebird. :wavey:

FreeBSD's ports system is very similar to the Portage tree... and the OS as a whole is easier to live with.

I've been too scared to try BSD. :nervous: h:

Once our roommate moves out and we get the extra room, I'll have more room for spare computers. :rick:

I should give it a try!

Everyone makes it out to be some uber hard OS, but to me its much more intuitive than any Linux.

Plus, with FreeBSD you have the Linux compatability package.

That's the nice thing about Gentoo. If you build it from level 1 files, it can run on damn near anything.
