Gentoo rocks -> Debian vs. Gentoo

Thanks for all the replies..I'll try it next time I
need a new package that is not in the 'stable'.
I'm hoping that the 'official' Woody comes out soon.
meantime, I am 'playing' with solaris.

Has anyone seen solaris print in color to a deskjet
printer like linux can? I can get B/W, but not
color using lpr and ghostscript. (it is a remote
tcp/ip printerserver on the router)
I am thinking of compiling cups on this box (by the
way
it is solaris 8 10/01 on x86)
