[mythtv-users] Gentoo vs. Debian

[Bruce C. Dillahunty]

Gentoo... I moved from Debian to Gentoo, mostly for the performance on 
lower end hardware... I found it to be a quite noticable improvement.

Anyway, I fell in love with the whole packaging model and the compile from 
source world.

I've been pleased, for whatever that is worth.
