[Xilo]

Nope but i have it on a cd. It's pretty cool.

[super_science_monkey]

oh...yea im planning to try gentoo and Knoppix next month. i hope i can get through the install process ok though. Heard it was pretty hard.

[Xilo]

Aye it is. But to tell ya what, I have learned more about linux while installing Gentoo then I did when i used Red Hat for two weeks. I don't even have a windows manager either. Kde has been downloading and compiling for about 6 hours now :lol:

wait till you gotta compile your first kernel you will love that ;)

Oh thats easy. You have to compile and download everything in Gentoo. Even as a Linux noob it was easy. Only takes about 40 minutes too. I've had to do it like 4 times so far because i kept forking something up ;)

Redaht 9 on my fairly new desktop, winxp pro on my old desktop and freebsd on my alienware laptop although its not going to well for me on that one. I think freebsd has a way to go when it comes to laptop support. :rolleyes:
