i'm afraid you got the idea wrong, and maybe its to blame with the fact that "I'm not following this therad very much" as you mentioned above. if you will read previous messages in this thread, you will see that the intention is to use gentoo as META disterbution. this doesnt mean that the end user will even know what the distro is based on. it could be rpm, deb or source, the end user will get the same resault. all he (the end user)really cares about is the final product (the desktop and tool's he's getting). > Remember - it's the first expirience who counts! if a user needs to fiddle > a lot with technical terms, then prepare for some real dissapointments. > > Of course - it's only my personal opinion and I wish you good luck, but > from my past experience with newbies (both in Windows and Linux) - then > prepare for huge dissapointments from your audience.. > > If you want a "friendly" installation then you might want to look at > "debian junior" distribution (if I understood Tal correctly, you don't like > RPMS, Meir, am I right?) > > But again - I wish you and the linbrew a good luck. > > Thanks, > Hetz > > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ======================================= Amir Tal Owner, Founder Whatsup, Hebrew Linux Portal Voice: +972-8-9363164 Cell: +972-58-978979 ICQ: 15748705 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.whatsup.org.il ====================================== ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
