		<title>Why I Use Gentoo: Configuration File Management</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Behind the scenes of any Linux distribution is a teeming morass of configuration files. Most desktop-oriented distributions, such as Fedora and Ubuntu, elect to hide this configuration behind various graphical configuration utilities. Unfortunately, several times when I&#8217;ve been using Ubuntu, &#8230; <a href="http://blog.calindora.com/2011/01/why-i-use-gentoo-configuration-file-management/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Why I Use Gentoo: Unused Dependency Removal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps with the exception of Slackware, today&#8217;s modern distributions have completely mastered the fine art of installing a package&#8217;s dependencies automatically. The installation of a package and all its required dependencies is no more difficult than a single command. However, &#8230; <a href="http://blog.calindora.com/2011/01/why-i-use-gentoo-unused-dependency-removal/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Why I Use Gentoo: Simple Package Management</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Regardless of which distribution you&#8217;re using, one situation seems to come up for everyone eventually: discovering that the official repositories either lack a package you want to install or that the version available is out of date. When this happens, &#8230; <a href="http://blog.calindora.com/2011/01/why-i-use-gentoo-simple-package-management/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Why I Use Gentoo: Rolling Releases</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the dawn of time, most Linux distributions have opted to follow a release pattern similar to most commercial software packages: release a new, updated version of the product every few months or years. This pattern is comfortable for many &#8230; <a href="http://blog.calindora.com/2011/01/why-i-use-gentoo-rolling-releases/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>(Not) Why I Use Gentoo: Learning about Linux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to reasons why people use Gentoo, a reason I&#8217;ve heard more than once is that Gentoo forces the user to learn about using Linux. On one hand, this is true, as both the install process and day-to-day &#8230; <a href="http://blog.calindora.com/2011/01/not-why-i-use-gentoo-learning-about-linux/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>(Not) Why I Use Gentoo: USE Flags</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned in the last post, Gentoo&#8216;s source-based nature allows it to customize software during the build process for the particular end-user or machine. One of the ways Gentoo provides to allow users to customize their builds is USE &#8230; <a href="http://blog.calindora.com/2010/12/not-why-i-use-gentoo-use-flags/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>(Not) Why I Use Gentoo: Optimization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the ways Gentoo distinguishes itself from much of the competition is its source-based nature. Most distributions provide pre-compiled binary packages to their users. Gentoo and other source-based distributions instead compile the software directly on the users&#8217; machines during &#8230; <a href="http://blog.calindora.com/2010/12/not-why-i-use-gentoo-optimization/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
