Debian's apt-get is nice
haven't messed with gentoo yet, but one day when I'm seriously bored I will...I hear it's a little quicker on the hardware suport than freebsd and very 'bsd-ish' in it's setup/useage...

right now i'm trying to convince myself to setup a FreeBSD lan server. i've been planning on tossing my 2 100+gb drives in a lan box to get them out of my machine, ultimately to migrate to a promise raid 5 setup.. like the sx6000. windows is so much easier, but i really wanna run FreeBSD. the only problem is i want it to operate like a win box, hence the need for samba.
last time i tried getting samba to run on a redhat 7 box, it took me several days and i finally just gave up. they way i had it set up it _should_ have work... but redhat is so squirrely, maybe it was the install of rh...
have you ever gotten samba to run? i'm basically looking for 1-2 lan servers to back up all my media files, and one to back up all my important work data for some fault tolerant goodness. it would be very easy to do in windoze... but not efficient.
