Yeah, the good old days when Gentoo was the new cool kid in block were over.
right now were 12 going up probably from all the sites saying negative
things. funny sabayon a gentoo fork and overlay is in 8. I know these
statistics aren't 100% accurate (given how they're generated) but
maybe they mean something.
If you analyze a moment what kind of users navigate through available
distros on DW, you will actually see that our rank is better than before.
The users that end up on DW, searching for a new distro to fit their
needs, are looking mostly for a desktop distro. Since Sabayon is mostly
a pre-installed Gentoo build for desktop purposes, we could claim that
our score is actually Gentoo.HPD + Sabayon.HPD. On the last 6 months,
this would place us on the 4th rank. Not bad for a meta-distribution,
isn't it? :)
