Hay, we've all had a share of issues, just look at my recent posts.

Well of course, Knoppix is Debian based :-)

Why isn't compiling acceptable as one of many alternatives.  I have to
agree with Geoff, that if you "feel the need, the need for speed" you have
to compile it yourself.  If you don't want to compile then don't use
Gentoo or LFS.

Why, mine was tongue in cheek, and always meant to be.  I was just having
a little fun.  If you took it the wrong way sorry.  But in the words of
someone who's opinion is respected on this list, it was "Just For Fun".

I've said before on this list, and other places too, that I believe in
choice.  Choice for you to selected the distro that best suits you (and
that includes Windows).
