I think it's OK to mention Gentoo (and other non-free distros) with a footnote explaining that those distros do not meet GNU guidelines for free OS distributions (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-system- distribution-guidelines.html), thus their usage couldn't be recommended. -- Regards, Dmitry Samoyloff _______________________________________________ linux-libre mailing list [email protected] http://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-libre
