The GTK intergration sucks. Isn't there a way to apply firefox theme to GTK ?

Err... FF neither uses Qt nor GTK.. so you can't actually apply a "gtk" theme to it.

Tango looks ugly compared to Crystal SVG. I wonder why these guys chose tango.

Tango is fugly!

Arch is much more simple than I expected. I am surprised why Ubuntu is the newbie oriented distro and not Arch. Its so easy to use, its simply unnerving at times.

sudo apt-get convenience... and the sheer number of binary apps available.

Gentoo is just too good for you. You can never install gentoo.

Actually Gentoo isn't good enough for me is the right case. If I was so adamant on installing it I would. The only thing I can't bear is compiling for hours. The performance difference is probably going to be negligible and not to mention that I have more than ample resources to run anything I choose to.

The only reason I was thinking of trying Gentoo was pretty much what Qwerty said. You'll learn a load of stuff while doing it. Otherwise

Gentoo isn't good enough for me. Not Vice versa as you put it.

HA! In Soviet Russia kernel panics YOU!!

Using live cd, eh? You aren't fit to use gentoo.
Click to expand...
I downloaded the live CD because it serves more than one purpose - it can act as an emergency recovary CD and at the same time I can install gentoo off it.
Hell, even arch is a live CD :p

PS: I doubt I would ever install gentoo-linux (though I might try gentoo-bsd) because It lacks KDEmod :p

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux

Once again, you aren't fit to use gentoo. Do you even know anything about gentoo? One can easily avoid meta-packages, set right use flags, optimise the CXXFLAGS and achieve better results than kdemod. Maybe not so simple as using KDEmod but still better, IMO.

I know, but it all comes at a cost - I need to compile a hell lot of big packages :mad:
You think P4 2.66GHz and 256MB DDR1 400MHz RAM will give me good compile times ? :p

besides, here too I can avoid meta-packages, set right use flags and some other things I didn't try yet. all that is done in pacman.conf or just while installing :)

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux

no idea :p
but I never felt the need to do anything like that...

the options available with pacman are so good that the only complaint I have is that for many things, the pacman commands get unnessarily long :mad:

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux

KDEmod is simply too beautiful... the KDE control center rocks. :D I can find all options there, including one to make GTK apps like firefox look KDE native :D :D :D
