### dragora

My thought was this:
As i do C (now and then) and as i do packaging (now and then) knowing the procedure of compiling better might be an idea.
My first thought was Gentoo.
I looked at their site and as far i understood you would use "emerge" to install or remove programs.
Would that teach me more about compiling? I am not sure.
So i looked at dragora (again).
Here i really have to do the compiling myself it seems.
To simply use a system for me that is too much work (aka dependency hell. It just took me more than an hour to install tilda, a program i need right from the start - a must have. On debian it is done in less than a minute)).
But, like said, i do it to learn a bit. Not to use such a system.
To make a long story short: if anyone is planning to get the head deeper in the subject of compiling software, dragora might be a good choice (Perhaps there are other good choices, perhaps gentoo would be a good one too, i simply don't know. I never used anything but debian seriously).
If anyone is able to explain autotools and similar compiling questions to me, i am very happy.
Makefiles. etc.
Not in detail, the general overview.
PS: this: dragora.org/en/files/2x/makepkg.html (mainly the overview at the bottom of that page)
So i herd u liek mudkip?
