Maybe not tomorrow or next month, but within a couple of years, we'll be Just Another Slackware. Personally, I don't want that. If other folks do, then that's OK. =20 > I welcome you to fork Gentoo to do this.

I think it has some great ideas and a great core technology. I'd hate to see for all that to be relegated to some hobbyist distro that people tinker around on but nobody takes seriously. Maybe you have a different vision for Gentoo. If so, I respect that, but please don't accuse me of trying to hijack anything. I expressed an opinion and you took my words and twisted them against me. This is a perfect example of why Gentoo's never going to go anywhere. We fight too much amongst ourselves.=20 --kurt --mxv5cy4qt+RJ9ypb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDvSu9JPpRNiftIEYRApe6AJ0SPthF6Lh9AZSkQeuVyrDaeskc4gCfZL3M ciRI+iebdh8c3nODmd6y+H0= =079a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --mxv5cy4qt+RJ9ypb-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
