Hi,
Is there any article that elaborate my question?
My aim is to explain, why Gentoo is much more agile then
any other binary distribution when hopping between arches.
Lets say we started development on x86, then we want to
move to another arch, or a totally new arch. I would like
to know the process, lets say compared to Debian.
Regards,
Kfir

Hey Mike,
thanks a lot for your document.
It seems really easy to do this. (Well, after you know how to handle
Catalyst ;-)
I guess the wicking part and the compilation of packages will add some work.
But it really seems simple.
Thanks,
Kfir
