Arch or Gentoo

I can't decide, I need to increase my skill, and also a server to dick around with.

  • arch
  • gentoo

Gentoo.

Edit: I am going to block everybody that votes arch. I am showing some sarcasm. Or am I?

lol
but more seriously... just pick any server version of insert linux flavor here
it really doesnt matter which one as long as it's not a server variant of BSD lol

But I can't choose and I need a project to increase my knowledge, and there is a bunch of things that I can host, and this is on the path of automating all the things.

i know a LOT of places just pick whatever is best documented for server uses.
Atm, that is by far Ubuntu Server.

to easy

if you are using it for a business, you go for what works and is documented, not whats "easy"

I'm some board teenager with a dell which wants to learn more about linux the hard way, I am in no way doing this for a profit, gentoo or arch

just use ubuntu server its what a lot of people use
that
or
BSD because PFsense is a thing that people may or may not use lol

You know what fuck it, I already torrented arch, might as well

To compile from source or not to compile from source? That is the question.

But how does one compile from source a operating system, as this is a task I have never forebode

Neither have I - I installed arch - lol!

Wait, do you mean recompile the kernel once it is installed?

I'm confused now -
Don't you have to compile everything from source with gentoo?

the Gentoo documentation is detailed and walks you through the process of compiling the OS and all other packages.

Okay

I have never seen a binary for Gentoo. So I would assume yes.
