Okay what is the Tux Jigsaw Puzzle one?

Also Gentoo?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Linux from scratch, a subdivision of really having nothing else to do

Thanks for clarifying

Wait, I thought LFS was long dead (as a project). Maybe I'm thinking of DSL though. Off to teh googles...

DSL

What is this? I'm going to be lazy and not search for it because DSL already has multiple meanings which overlap with Linux

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Damn Small Linux, and DSL is dead. LFS lives on though.

Tux Jigsaw is "Linux from Scratch." It's not really a distro, but rather a guide that walks you through configuring an entire Linux distro from the ground up.

Gentoo is a distro focused on compiling pretty much everything from source locally.

Yeah, honestly you can replace Arch with Gentoo. Arch is for when you don't have a life for an afternoon or two while you're getting set up. After that it's smooth.

The Gentoo forums were a great help when I mained Gentoo. It's been years, needed windows to play WoW to avoid the bans at the time.

Anyway yeah it was fun trying to figure out why it broke or what portage dependency blew up.
