The problem is that we don't believe in tales about witches and premonition, do we? ;) Some people call it yellow press (though in my country it would be translated to "pink press" :P. This gets kind of boring, because every two or three days a similar thread arises in the forum or here. Once a year I answer this kind of topic (I usually just silently ignore them). Right now, gentoo is stronger than ever. Monthly newsletter works again, and they are better than ever. The legal issues with the foundation (about papers and bureaucracy) are all now solved and portage is maintained and updated everyday. I figure how a person that use gentoo can question these things... So I figure if any of the persons who open this kind of threads are really using Gentoo for anything else than installing it to be cooler. No offense intended. As I said, this just gets boring after 1000 posts telling the same. It kind of seems like spam to me. Saludos :) -- Jesús Guerrero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
