.. If I overclock it to lets say 3.30 or 3.60 .. what will I notice different ? speed faster ? compiling faster ?

My avatar is a pentacle, it is pretty much a symbol that is used in the Pagan Religions of the world.

And sorry to say, I just ditched Gentoo. After over a year of using it, I just grew tired of the compiles. I switched everything over to Debian unstable, and am loving it. Just as much configurability (except for the use flags, but keeping the extra stuff off really isnt't a concern because my debian install takes up MUCH less room than my Gentoo install did), but no compiles, and it is actually just as fast.

For real?
awww.. I'm a Deb fan too. But too much trouble for me. The people that I know using Debian are always idle. Most of the ppl I I know are using Frugalware, Arch, Gentoo, PClos, .. But yea lets see how long I can last

I want to try these distro(S) .. Pingwinek, Pentoo and Parsix(Based on Kanotix and Debian).. I got banned from Kanotix cuz of my cousin

Yeah, I have used gentoo for over a year, and have been trying out debian over the past couple years. Debian unstable is just as up to date as my ~x86 gentoo install, and I didn't have to compile anything (although I could if I wanted).

It is nice. Like I said, gentoo is great to learn with, but for me, debian gets my hard drive space.

True... geee... I dont know. the reason I like this gentoo is cuz of the flexibility, but that also screws up .. So how u installed your debian ? I've used Kanotix and Parsix, I might go that way to use debian all set up . My gentoo just got screwed up, #1 I aint reinstalling again, I dont wanna go thru vlos again, and its true what my friend said binary distro its just easier and gives u more time. But u seem to be right, u should start coming into irc and chat with some folks it'll be fun

Debian is as configurable as Gentoo (in the config sense, not the compile options sense) and is just a lot easier to install, and maintain for me.

I used the daily snapshot net install of just plain debian. Just pop the disk in, and follow the on screen instructions. Within 20 minutes, have everything installed, and another 10 you can have Xorg 6.9 (same source as 7.0, just compiled differently) and any choice of DE I want.

I really loved gentoo, but it just isn't what I need, or want now. I learned a LOT using and configuring Gentoo, and without that experience, I would be lost since I switched completely over to Linux.

Anyway, I will come into irc sometime, just let me know where. If you need any help with Debian or Gentoo, let me know, I still remember a lot, lol. I am still learning how to do things the "Debian" way though.

*edit*
One more thing I forgot to add. Although I think portage is the best thing since sliced bread, APT is just GREAT! You can use Synaptic for a gui, apt-get or aptitude for command line, and aptitude will even remove software that is installed with the package you wanted when you remove it.
