I can't believe it....

[David C. Hacker, DVM]

I run both Gentoo and YDL.  YDL is much easier to install but the 
upgrades aren't always there.  Gentoo will take you close to a day to 
install the first time.  You have to follow the handbook line for line 
unless you are very knowledgeable with the command line, since there is 
no graphical installer.  The upside is once you have it installed you 
can upgrade with very simple commands that will either download 
binaries or automatically  compile the programs for your systems 
specific features making them run a lot faster.  I personally like 
gentoo a lot better.  Also, there is a lot more software available for 
it.
