Why Use Gentoo?
Fairly recent poll on gentoo-user. (August '03)
#1 – Portage.
#2 – Customized / Control.
#3 – Fast / Optimized.
- The speed of Gentoo is somewhat debatable. A recent benchmark showed that Mandrake was faster.
- This is due to optimization settings. (ie. Unrolling loops can cause more cache misses, reducing performance)
#4 – Up to Date / Bleeding Edge.
