    And then there is Death

    It doesn't Lycoris, which is the only installation of linux I've successfully installed (although it refuses to reboot properly). I've also used knoppix. Knoppix was cool except it didn't detect my network card xD

    So yeah, that's me. I remember trying to install gentoo. Man gentoo is a pain. They should make batch files to install gentoo imho. If they do, hook me up!

    A cross between SUSE and Mandrake, which is pretty sad really. Haha, the Debian description is so true.

    I use Mandrake and Knoppix personally (other than windows that is). Knoppix I use solely for the purpose of compiling with g++, because the 9.2->10.1c upgrade on Mdk broke it.

    And then there is Death

    I like Mandrake, personally, but it's not currently on my system.

    I probably won't completely migrate to Linux until my wireless card is supported or until I get a wireless card that's supported. I don't like running my 25' cat5 cable anytime I want to do stuff in it and be online.

    The install process has got to be 50 steps or more. My brain hurts and half the time the things don't work. A batch file = teh win 4 me

    You stick to installing something like RedHat then, PG And hasn't portage virtually already batched installing programs for you, once you have the basic gentoo system up? "Hmm, I need an image editor. emerge gimp. There, I'm done."

    Although the Gentoo install is pretty long though, I think it's still fairly easy considering that. Maybe it's partially helped by the holding-hands type guide they have on their site

    Well, they better get the GUI setup done or I'll never be able to install Gentoo. GRUB never found my SATA hard drives.

    You could always search http://forums.gentoo.org/ for "grub sata" or some other string - I see plenty of threads about it there

    Well I don't really know if I'm glad or not but I do know that those explanations were a load of crap and didn't teach me anything that I would consider useful.
