My school always gets donations from the BLM and whatnot, does your workplace do that?

Yes, when something is broken or useless we donate it to schools.

Broken? Damn your nice. Well, I suppose the computers we took apart/rebuilt in Comp Sci were broken too.

Donate me that Laptop? I'm a student. And yes, if its orange, its a laptop.

Tmp, mind mailing me a burned CD of it? My 56k doesn't like ISO's. =)

He said useless, too.

A 400MHz computer is pretty good by my school's standards. I really doubt you could catch any other government organization using a 400MHz computer.

Gentoo here. Its nice, easy to use and has large support forums. Running a bleeding edge gentoo system can cause some problems, but once stuff becomes stable its about as easy as it gets. When the 2.6 kernel came out I decided to try it and installing it was a pain in the ass on gentoo, but now 2.6 is the default and if you want 2.4 its as easy as changing a profile name. Also, its getting easier and easier to install with every release as they improve the system and the documentation for it.

Gentoo compiles on installing, right? While thats always fine and dandy, as you get the source code right on the CD, I don't care for it that much, because the boxes I have to toss linux on are 266 or lower, and installing a pre-compiled Linux like Slackware takes an entire day (not exagerating..). Of course, for anyone that uses Linux as their main operating system, they will have a faster processor and it shouldn't be a problem.

If installing Slackware takes a long time, well, good luck getting Gentoo to install in under a day!

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Gentoo can take awhile to install yes. Of course I personally don't see why that matters. On my 500mhz celeron I start bootstrapping before I goto bed and its finished by morning. Then I emerge system and that takes until sometime in the afternoon. After that more user interaction is required for installing the kernel and picking loggers and such. But this doesn't take very long. If you want X and KDE well god help you because ive heard of insanely long compile times for these in the range of days. But I think these users were exaggerating but who knows. So yes it takes awhile to install but I feel its worth it because I can control just about everything that gets installed.
