Gentoo is for fairly experienced Linux users who want real control & are prepared to put a bit of time into maintaining their box(es). There will always be people who try it & find it too time-consuming or are simply not experienced enough to handle its challenges. There is no other distro which offers anything like what Gentoo offers & until there is, Gentoo will remain alive & fairly healthy. BTW 'Distrowatch' has its annual review today with a rather snide report on Gentoo as no longer being fashionable (grin). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
