I've thought about trying Arch, Slackware just seems like it's software selection is too old, and for some reason Gentoo, which is the one I really want to try, can't see any of my hard drives, I've tried minimal, live cd, and live dvd, both the graphical and cl installs, and none of them seem to want to see my drives.MagnusB wrote:Gentoo uses this with their package manager (Portage) where you more or less compile each installation. This could be great for some, and a good way to learn how Linux works etc, but what you gain from it is nothing more than a personalized system and a tiny bit of performance boost.
However, if you want to compile, Debian based systems are not the best way to go. Slackware, Arch Linux and of course Gentoo are much better for those purposes..

Very frustrated.
OK but how do you think we would know that and know which topic and where to find it.The relevance is that I followed the link you sent me in another topic.
I don't know if this is how it works, but I was recently thinking how it would be great if installing packages through the package manager/apt would scan your computers hardware and os when you chose to install anything, like it does when you initially install the os. I'm asking too much here, but I can dream.McLovin wrote: Compiling from source, (as I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong) scans your set-up, (hardware, kernel, drivers, etc.) and then compiles the program according to your particular system, making for an install more customized to you and your computer. .

I am trying to install those files on my computer for a long time but for one or another reason it does not work.
Of course I do realise that with Synaptic I have the most progs I need, but nevertheless....
Hope one can he;lp me or direct m to a place where I can find it all
