To each their own I suppose. I know a lot of people use Ubuntu. Hell,
it's running on my VPS. But the ONLY reason Gentoo ISN'T running is that
it wasn't offered as an option and I didn't (and don't) want to go to
the hassle of manually installing Gentoo and removing Ubuntu LTS at the
same time. When I finally move from a VPS to a physical server, I can
promise it will be Gentoo. But let's not get into a distro war. The
above patch sounds interesting. I'm running SKS on the VPS and if that
package has patches that fix flaws the main Debian package doesn't, then
I'll look into it myself. Thanks for the tip!
