rikytik is an unknown quantity at this point
With a 56k connect, buy the cd's.

Crafyc is gung ho on Gentoo, so I downloaded it this am. Only a total of 150MB for the 2 discs. Most other distros you gotta download at least 2 cd's for around a GB total.

I haven't tried Gentoo yet, craftyc, but I note it is much less automated than the other popular distros. Maybe this is the way to go so one can learn the lingo and the commands.

By far, SuSE 8.0 is the most polished and automatic distro I've tried, but it's hard to learn anything since there are no mistakes to be made. With gentoo (and a lesser extent Slackware) you must read the iinstructions.
[list=1] Heh heh
