I don't think it is any secret that Gentoo is not meant for the inexperienced. On that same point, it is clear that by its design most Gentoo configurations are not officially tested. From this, it becomes clearer how to properly manage Gentoo servers: the same way any diligent admin would - stage, test, stabilize, deploy. That is the beauty of Gentoo as a meta-distribution.
It is far from point-and-click and I hope it stays that way.
- SwellJoe 18y agoMuch better than saying hosts with it are retards or amateurish. You're right. I'm not entirely politic sometimes. At least folks won't think I'm ambivalent about the issue. And, I pretty much do only intend my comments for the kind of folks who are asking strangers for help in their selection--obviously, people who've been using Linux for 10 years, or whatever, can use anything that suits them, and they'll be able to make it work really well. They also need a lot less help (so popularity doesn't matter), and have far better grasp of how things actually work (so they can see through the differences between distros and not having a standard initscript or rc script for some app doesn't matter because you can write it yourself).
- qhoxie 18y agoI respect the candidness and thorough responses.
