finished setting up my new gentoo box today. not much exciting to say about it yet, except it's nice to have a lean linux install for the first time in a long time.

i gave redhat another chance, but it's there just too much bloat in the installed packages these days. i know disk space is cheap, but i'm a virgo, and when 'rpm -qa' scrolls and scrolls and scrolls, i get a bit anxious.

we'll see how gentoo's Portage system works. so far i've been impressed, but so far i haven't had to update packages. hopefully i'll be impressed enough to buy a t-shirt.
