      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.
