![]() On Gentoo you must compile your own kernel.There are no binary kernels available through the package manager. There's a tool called "genkernel" to try and help automate the task.It will build a lot of modules that you probably won't ever need and ,of course, adds a lot of time to compile because of all the extras.This builds a more generic style kernel with an initrd.
Sure. I don't mind trying to help. " 13 Hours??? " Build time is what keeps most people from source based distros. |

![]() I like the cpu specific optimization mostly.Also, most linux software has options that can be enabled or disabled at compilation time.So I end up with more of what I want and less of what I don't.

I currently use Fedora12 and compile stuff every once in a while... today it was MOC (terminal music player), but never anything too big or complicated. Not used to it either. |

![]() The speed difference can be very obvious for somethings.As far as time needed to build, well the faster your machine the less time needed.I was lurking around this thread, [thread]http://veterperementour.ru/t257263-p2-firefox-36.html[/thread] and I think that the Google V8 benchmark was the benchmark mister_playboy was talking about.

![]() Well not so much if you ask me. Ok it's a little tricky the installation, but without a doubt it worth. I've tried Debian, Fedora & Mandriva before, and for me this is The Distro
