Description: A review describing the experience during installation and a summary of strong points and weaknesses.
(December 04, 2003)
In addition to endless customization possibilities and performance improvements, Gentoo offers solid documentation and a strong community support base. Most LJ readers are familiar with the various commercial distributions of Linux available for desktop and server systems. When one thinks of these commercial versions of Linux, one naturally might gravitate toward such names as Red Hat, SuSE or Mandrake. Some may even go so far as to think of UnitedLinux or, dare I go there, SCO Linux. Then, of course, there are your non-commercial community-supported distributions, including Debian and Slackware. When I mentioned to a friend that I was going to install Debian on a system so I could learn more about Linux, he suggested I try the Gentoo distribution.
