Right, it's a kick-start for new installs. But only at each release,
i.e. twice a year.
I'm using gentoo since it's first version.
It is what I was always looking for.
Ah, at last: a Gentoo user ;-)
What I understand from your arguments is that compiling from source is
necessary because Gentoo is a meta-distribution, and that they couldn't
provide binaries for each and every possible situation. This is the
price to pay if you want to assemble a distro yourself.
Am I right in saying so?
