I'm installing it because my neighbors "PR" created it =)
But its also based on Gentoo, so finally I can see whats Gentoo about since the Gentoo installation made me nuts
Originally posted by reddazz I used it on a test machine a few months ago, it's a very good distro.
I couldn't install Gentoo (everyone knows why #1 I'm not a Geek =D ) #2 Gentoo is not easy to install compared to any other Debian distro or etc. but I installed it fine it tooka while at least an hour I don't know I went to sleep and woke up and it was ready . And it runs so fast even on my Celeron 635mhz/256sdram using Gnome (I think its 2.6) and other distros dont run like this is running. But I guess since its gentoo based, now I'm a gentoo user?
I find that the latest VidaLinux has some hesitation problem. After install and boot everything looks fine but while using it there are ~5sec hesitations every few minutes. I have checked DMA is on and I run the monitor and there is no swap or cpu=100% problem. The beta prior to the current one did not have this.
Once everything was configured, it runs great. I will say that it was a pain to configure, which I read elsewhere it would be--so was expecting that. Seems very solid thus far.
