The Ubuntu Forums have grown tremendously over the years. While we regret that we are discontinuing our Other OS Talk category, this gives us an opportunity to help other Linux distributions grow by directing traffic to the websites of these distributions. Here is a list of the official websites for the operating systems that used to have individual forums here. We hope you are able to find further assistance from there. And finally, if you haven't yet found what you are looking for, we suggest you look for information on the DistroWatch website or you might try the multi-distribution LinuxQuestions forum. |

Installing from source
I've been using Gentoo for a few days and it's noticably (read: incredibly) faster than Kubuntu, as expected, so I want to know, as well as making it faster, what else does building a package from source do?
I'm mainly interested in how much it affects the following (if any): Speed (obviously), Size, Amount of errors while running, RAM usage, Anything else interesting and good. I'm already well aware of the speed since I can now have my KDE desktop loaded literally within 5 seconds of logging in (including typing startx) |
