| I use gentoo, as does km. Ubuntu is cool when it works but when it breaks, there are some kind of proprietary undocumented things that make it hard to fix. Also, their forums have a large ratio of misinformation to facts. |

yeah.
in 02 tried mandrake, then slackware, but gentoo was the first linux distro that i could actually use. see, i like learning, and gentoo forced me to actually learn about what was going on etc so i didn't have to cry to the forums every time something didn't work how i wanted it to. |

It might be slower in linux because linux has a much better (though more cpu intensive) font anti-aliasing system. |
