Re: gentoo

I use Gentoo on my box at home, as well as Ubuntu.

I haven't tried the RR4 distro, but have tried VidaLinux and it works well as a installation for Gentoo. It uses the Redhat installer and makes the install quick and easy.

Lately, I've been really impressed with ArchLinux. The installation took 15 minutes on a slow PII300 and it runs extremely fast. All of the software I use is in their pacman directory (MythTV, Mplayer with the plug-ins, etc). I would highly recommend this.
