In 2003 I had finished high school and then took a year off before heading to college for Computer Systems. At the same time I had been deep diving Gentoo Linux and fooling around with various webhosting projects and PHP coding.

I gotta say.. working w/ Gentoo taught me more about operating systems - ALL OF THEM - than anything else. Ground-up manual build EVERY time.. so much to learn! So many hardware devices!

Same, it really helped learning the nuts and bolts of things. Later on Arch Linux was another whose guides and wikis really helped regardless of the actual Linux OS.

Good memories of bootstrapping my system every time, messing with the compiler flags in search of the best optimisation, hand configuring the kernel etc..
Makes me want to go and install gentoo somewhere, just for fun 🙂
