Please please please please PLEASE!!!! Let's all drop this thread right now. It flares up every few months and always goes the same way - becoming a flame war after post #3. Just a few weeks ago the last one finally died down. Gentoo is not dying. The definitive proof is that Netcraft has not confirmed it yet. If you don't get that joke then get yourself a SlashDot subscription :-) These rumours start the same way every other rumour the homo-sapiens has come up with starts - someone says something, someone else gets all riled up and retorts. Someone else accepts this as fact and repeats it without doing any research at all, and before you know it.... So please, think twice before hitting that reply button. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
