As seen from the discussion earlier this week, I don't think Gentoo has the proper open-mindness to create a proper enterprise distro. There are too many things that would get in the way of Gentoo proper to make it work right. I agree with Duncan that the best route is an outside project so that they don't have the constraints of Gentoo proper. Trying to inflict the ideals of an enterprise distro into Gentoo right now will be an uphill battle the whole way. Just look at all the comments made from my thread earlier. You cannot make an enterprise distro without focus or direction and a leader. You'll be stuck in committee decisions all the time. Not saying its impossible, but it won't be easy. -- Lance Albertson Gentoo Infrastructure | Operations Manager --- GPG Public Key: Key fingerprint: 0423 92F3 544A 1282 5AB1 4D07 416F A15D 27F4 B742 ramereth/irc.freenode.net --------------enig5391976C82B36FBFD6003F8C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFDvoxcQW+hXSf0t0IRAi5QAKDXQIRORXdQBqV/Tl64KoSEC4nnhACg4Mz4 E9Alb7D31B603Z3OtVSIyJU= =3jU5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig5391976C82B36FBFD6003F8C-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
