Confessions of a gentoo user
*sigh*. I thought it might come to this, sooner or later.
I am starting to have a lot less time around me than I would like, and my computer habits are changing. I’m finally starting to spend more time doing things with the computer than to it. I’m starting to long to be able to apt-get install things, rather than fix configuration files and wait for it to compile.
In short, I think next time I get around to reinstalling for some reason, I’m going with ubuntu (I would change over sooner, but that’s *far* too much work right now…)
(And before all you people, the ones who laughed at me for using gentoo, say “Ha-ha”, I *was* right all along. I never said you should use gentoo, nor that I always would, I just felt it was fun and appropriate at the time. And heck, knowing me, I will still run it on my tinkering box for when I do get some free time).
Ciao.
I used to use Build Your Own Linux – which taught me quite a lot about how a Linux distro fits together – but it involved an awful lot of fixing and compiling, as well as things not working *quite* right.
I came out of that with knowledge, and I guess I’m glad for it. But I guess I also appreciate more how valuable a distro like Ubuntu is. I think there’s value in both approaches.
Aw, it’s a shame you’re leaving Gentoo. Who’re we going to take the mickey out of on IRC, now, then?
