Having heard and read about this issue too I just want to express that for me personally all this does not count: I don't care about the business model, but only about the quality of Gentoo. As long as it is good like today (or better :-)) I will use it - no matter if it costs money or not. If somebody might become rich due to making/selling/supporting Gentoo, that's no problem for me - but if Gentoo would not be a good distro anymore ( good == usable for my purposes ) - THAT would be a problem for me. For the moment I am happy and thankful about getting such a fine distribution for free, but i would not mind paying for it: I have to pay for lots of other things that are miles away from this level of usefulness - e.g. each month the German state takes away a considerable part of my money to build even more highways and strange stuff like that... But (of course) that's just my personal opinion and everybody is absolutely free to have a different one. :-)) Karl-Heinz - -- Karl-Heinz Zimmer, Senior Software Engineer, Klar�lvdalens Datakonsult AB <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."
