Gentoo vs. Debian
Posted by: on Monday, September 20, 2004 - 23:21
Submitted by dholm
Recently a user asked on the Gentoo-User mailinglist what he would miss if he switched from Gentoo to Debian. A discussion broke out regarding the positives and negatives of both distros. If you want to read the (somewhat biased) discussion you can access the archived version here.

How so, the prebuilt packages are made to work on all ppc hardware, so there are no optimization on the packages. If you have a MPC7447, you want to use it not waste it. And I don't want to get in on the *Debian ideology* of how things should work.

No, I was just joking, as kozz also says, why not use Gentoo and Debian :-)

And I hadn't got my coffe yet ;)

The truth is, as also was said on the list as this subject, try out some of the distributions that seems interesting to you, and then pick the one that you feel is right for you.

Now wouldn't it be fun if gcc actually generated code that made a difference on the MPC7447 ?
The thing is it doesn't however, it has very limited support for instruction scheduling and in _best_ case this does 2-3% on the total performance, gentoo is a waste of time.
