ot: gentoo

[Cheryl Homiak]

Is anybody on this list currently running gentoo? I want to re-install on 
my desktop because I no longer really need my DOS partition (well, I still 
have a little problem with transfers to and from the braillelite but I 
plan to solve that). My preference would probably be to re-install debian, 
but having to either use an older installer cd or having to mess with 
floppies which don't always seem to work for me don't seem like really 
wonderful alternatives. besides this, unless one runs unstable (which is 
what I usually do), things aren't current. so gentoo sounds kind of 
appealing to me. but I'd like to know: if anybody has either run it 
recently or is running it, did you have issues with installation and what 
were your impressions of it once you got it installed? I have looked at 
some of the archive issues (I think there were some here and in blinux) 
with this but would like any current opinions. I know that people's likes 
and dislikes re: distributions are often a fairly subjective matter, so 
not trying to start a dist war, but just am trying to decide whether I 
want to try this. A while back I tried fedora on my laptop and really 
didn't find it to be what i wanted, but that doesn't mean I'm never going 
to try anything different again.
Thanks.
