I'm using a flava of linux that installs from binaries for the first time in YEARS.
Story: I gave up on Gentoo a couple of years ago and have been running strictly Windows until a week or two ago. Had a massive problem with Windows 8 (ugh), and couldn't get XP or 7 installed (ugh). Finally decided to grab a linux distro and try getting Office up with Wine. Booted into Ubuntu and was not impressed. Decided to grab Fedora (although was tempted by Slackware. Less by Gentoo. I can't really see how big the Gentoo community is anymore, but it seemed to be collapsing when I jumped ship). Happy with Fedora so far. Office is running, although large doc files seem a bit sluggish (~80k words with hundreds of footnotes).
Anyway. My point about binaries: It feels like cheating.
That is all.
(I guess I should figure out this SRPM stuff).
