Linux Video Editing Software - What an Open Source Sony Vegas Looks Like. Nixie Pixel. Using KDEnlive for Linux AND Windows! Fedora vs. Gentoo: My Experience - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net. I have been using Fedora 10 for the past few months, and it's a good distro, but I recently decided I just miss the freedom and "tweakability" of Gentoo. The reason I left Gentoo for Fedora in the first place was three-fold: 1) Fedora offers whole disk encryption during install. All you have to do is click one button. With Gentoo, you have to go through a very complex manual install of an encrypted partition, and after you're finished, you have to find a script that will mount it on boot. It's a PITA and there is no reliable documentation for encryption on Gentoo (actually there is documentation out there, but it's outdated and didn't work for me).

Also, the company that hosted Gentoo's Wiki server closed up shop and refused to give the Gentoo devs the backups of their Wiki! 2) Fedora had KDE 4.2 in its stable tree. 3) Fedora has SELinux enabled by default. So I used Fedora and liked it, but it just felt slower than Gentoo. If Gentoo can work out two issues: Gentoo vs Fedora. Choose two GNU/Linux or BSD flavors and see how they compare in features and supported software/hardware.
