Precisely. Gentoo "too difficult" for me? Puh-lease. That's exactly
what I mean by "wannabe elitist fucktards". Gentoo users think they're
*so* special just because their OS gives them the illusion that they're
using something complex or difficult.
No, Gentoo is *not* difficult to use. It's really easy and does a *lot*
of hand-holding. (Just because the hand-holding is done through console-
based tools does *not* mean it's not hand-holding.)
The problem is with the redundancy of compiling everything. It's a waste
of time. You see, unlike the Gentoo WEFs, I don't particularly *enjoy*
waiting hours to compile the newest version of Firefox, OOo or glibc just
so I can walk around telling people how *great* and *special* I am that
I'm a Gentoo user and I compile everything. If you're the kind of person
who *enjoys* that kind of thing, then *by all means*, use Gentoo. I'm
not going to stop you.
