defeats the purpose? Also, like I mentioned, I used it ages ago…binary packages when I was using it weren’t very common. I see they “went binary” a few years back… but then, why bother with Gentoo?
I’m in the same boat as you. Loved it for what it was on my old Pentium 2 (no internet). Learner a lot and had a blast. Not a daily driver now I have time constraints and binary packages lose what made it special. Happy on Arch for personal stuff and Debian for mission critical stuff.
you know now you can install binaries right ???
