I really like portage and probably everything I know about configuring linux using /etc and a bunch of commands I know because of gentoo.

The first time I installed Gentoo it I had a copy of the Gentoo Handbook and that was it. No internet connection to help. It was a great experience and I’ve learned a lot about how linux works internally. Before Gentoo I was using Fedora Core 2.

After those days I decided that I should became a programmer and not a sysadmin, so I did it, and I decided to install Ubuntu… now after two years using Ubuntu I’m back to Gentoo.Things are different of course. The installation process is easier (with a graphical interface LiveCD!). But, it’s nice to decide what I want to install and have full (or almost full?) control of my machine again! :D

Well.. let me go back to work, portage just finished to compile… :-P
