i have a spare pc here atm, say spare person who has asked me to mend it cant pay the bill so im holding it hostage :smoker:
And seeing as i have a few spare drives hanging about i thought i would use the pc to test some Linux distros. Now the only one i have never got working was gentoo, and i really would like to, i know they do a x64 version as do ubuntu (which i have tried and cant say im too found of) and debian, again last time i used that it had enough issues in itself.
Out of all the x64 distros out there would do people advise to use, time is not a factor, although going all the way through gentoos install only for it to kck out 9 hours later and it wants you to say yes or no to a licence is also not something i want to do, althoug messing about with freebsd i seem to understand it a bit more and know to install base and then build from there.
