Ever hear anyone talk about Gentoo? Yeah, me too. And I'm convinced that Gentoo is for ricers.
Finally upgraded to my dual opteron 250 server that I bought months ago...
and..
$ uname -a
Linux www.miguelito.org 2.6.9-gentoo-r14 #1 SMP Thu Jul 21 18:40:02 PDT 2005 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 250 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
I be pimpin' yo! :P
So far, the package management is really nice.. no circular dependency loops like I've had on every other system I've tried to date, and nothing has failed to build for me yet, which I ran into pretty often on sorcerer/lunar.

Once I get this house buying thing done, It's time to build a new server...
Posted by wee at July 24, 2005 3:49 AMI forgot to add that it's got 4x200Gig SATA disks on a 3ware escalade controller in a RAID-10 configuration. :P
and 2Gig of RAM, onboard firewire, etc... backing up to an external firewire disk right now AAMOF.
I'm actually pretty impressed with gentoo thus far. Didn't go balls out on all the USE flags and that junk either.
Posted by Miguelito at July 25, 2005 7:53 PMRight on.
I'm torn with regards to what sort of storage to build. I'd rather put money into a house, but I'm like 96% full on my current system. Maybe software RAID5 for me. Ick.
