Gentoo Portage Package Management System
Here's an interesting article in LinuxJournal.com on some advantages to using Gentoo, including a discussion of how the emerge system works.
I liked that the author didn't consider the speed issue too important: :: Quote :: So, from a speed perspective, it really doesn't matter whether you use a build-it-from-source distribution or a binary-package distribution. If improved speed is not a reason to use Gentoo, why would you want this built-from-source thing?But rather focused on features like portage package management system, which does really sound very impressive, more so even maybe than the debian style apt-get, which is also an excellent package management system. Not that I'm going to move to Gentoo any time soon, but their technology is impressive, if complex and hard to learn. Back to top |
