My Linux progression:

1. Red Hat
2. Debian with its sexy package system
3. Gentoo with its faster-updating package system
4. Break My Gentoo with its even-faster-updating package system (for prerelease GNOME ebuilds)
5. Jhbuild so I can use GNOME CVS

Next, I’m going to crack into GNOME developers’ boxen so that I can run code they’ve written but not yet committed to CVS.
