I need to install subversion on 2 machines running debian and gentoo.

on debian: aptitude install subversion

finished in 5 seconds

on gentoo: emerge subversion

after compiling 5 packages in 15 min, it got subversion installed.

what’s the reason for the 15min? I tried to look the doc to get a binary package, and it seems need another one hour to install/configure, which also seems not official support by default. So, why bother ?

I don’t suggest any system admin use gentoo, it will bring you troublesome more than advantages. However, if you are cutting edge system admin and no customer will complain when system breaks, you are on your own. Good luck! I’ll remove my gentoo within 2 monthes and switch to debian forever.
