Recently installed gentoo and it seems to be really great. Is anyone using gentoo on this list ? Are there any caveats to consider while using it ?
Watch those optimiser flags and make sure your USE variables are good.
I read somewhere on the net that #emerge --update system sometimes screws the system and makes it unusable.
If you do it without watching what happens, yes it can. Gentoo is not like FreeBSD where the RELEASE is always going to work. Gentoo is more like FreeBSD CURRENT, with the same caveats.
