- tj111, on 07/10/2008, -1/+4Came into the Linux world ~6 months ago with Ubuntu. Starting to want to get my feet wet in some other distributions, and Gentoo definitely looks interesting, having the whole system built around my hardware must have notable speed gains. I'm gonna download it and give it a go.

I do a linux podcast and we recently reviewed Ubuntu (and my cohost runs Gentoo) and the performance in our performance tests was so similar that it wound up being a statistical dead heat and as you prolly know, it doesn't take 6 hours to compile and install GNOME on Ubuntu. If you want a optimized distro, try out ArchLinux.
