- akulbe 13y agoThis question made me laugh. Seriously. I have a laptop and a desktop, each with 32GB of RAM in them. 2.1 TB of storage in the laptop, about 3TB in the desktop. Here's why I give that detail... they are both VM host machines. Host OS is Ubuntu 13.10. For VMs, It's in this order of frequency. Ubuntu 13.10 (all work-related VMs use this) Arch Linux CentOS 6.5 Ubuntu 14.04 RHEL 7b ElementaryOS Maui Project (non-Linux OSes)

- raffle 13y agoAm i really the only person so far who uses gentoo?
- ch215 13y agoYou're not the only one. Switched a few months back after using Arch for years. It was one hell of a time sink to begin with but I find it to be unfathomably stable for a rolling release distro. I'll be sticking with it, at least until I get an irresistible itch to try Linux From Scratch.
- raffle 13y agoYea man, gentoo has a learning curve, but portage is just a dream. If you don't hack it and properly use the package.files the way they were intended it's amazingly customizable and portable.
