You're living right not in competition. If you're on an island
you compete with animals for food and water. If you're in a condo - hell, 
you know how many on this planet WISH to live in your house right now and 
what stops them from doing that?

And you belive that you're outside competition. It looks unreal.
Gentoo is in competition with other distros - it's real and happens
right now.

Are you absolutely sure that in the condition when nobody knows how
Portage works we may go that far as saying we have a healthy Penguin?
