It seems to be okay.  People like it for a couple reasons:  1) It compiles
everything specifically for your system, not the lowest common denominator.
It's more work than I'd want to do too install a machine, but what's wrong
with a distribution that makes people UNDERSTAND more about what is going
on under the hood?  I don't get the big hostility towards making people
understand more about how their machines work...
Now, the yutz who was pushing it on newbies should be shot[0]...
