[ale] Current Red Hat users - moving on?

[Grady Harris]

I've had Gentoo running on my desktop machine at home, PII~400, for two months,
and haven't managed to mess it up yet, which is a record for me. Only took me
three tries to get through the installation--of course, three tries, back to
back, meant about nine days.

Once it was installed, and I had added Gnome & KDE bases & gone through a couple
of syncing cycles, most of the tools I would need for any compilation were
there, so emerging new programs took less time. Open Office, though, took about
36 hours to compile.

I'll give a second to Gentoo...
It's been over a year since I've started using it.  Haven't looked
back.  Portage is a wonderful application delivery system, even if it's
slow.  Slow due to fact it compiles most of the programs you install.
My system runs noticeably faster with a Gentoo install than with a
RedHat.
I have it installed on my desktop, laptop, and two servers.
