325327 2005-02-15 10:26:00 I chanced across this review tonight:
www.linuxtimes.net

Its a pretty good review, fair... but I pity the poor fella for installing Gentoo on a 600Mhz first-off.

On a 2.8Ghz P4, I had Firefox, Gaim, XMMS, Xorg, KDE, and a custom kernel in just under 10 hours!

Enjoy the read, it may make some of you out there think twice about giving Gentoo a whirl :)

Im off to emerge nxserver-freenx

Cheers


Chill.

325329 2005-02-16 04:36:00 Yeah, well, I just chanced across it. Funny coz Ive not read any distro reviews in ages...

If somebody can find something that'll give me more control over my system (barring LFS) then I'd like to know.

Sadly, FreeNX didnt work :(

What about one of the *BSD's?

Think three times, read the manual for the fourth time as you install it :D
