Re: Gentoo (was Re: OpenBSD)

In its defense, I'd wager (and I don't use the thing) that Gentoos RC's 
are more stable than a Mandrake Release!! Not that I have many problems 
but the Mandrake releases need about 3 weeks more polish before release 
almost EVERY time, and they never seem to get it.  A pity really. If 
they did then Mandrake and URPMI would rule the world!!�

Is this why you claim the packages are so up-to-date--because you're
running a release candidate, i.e. not a stable release?
If this is the case, it's not a lot different to running something like
Debian's testing/unstable tree (or, for that matter, any other
distributions pre-release trees).  So it would seem that the claims of
Gentoo having more up-to-date packages than other distributions might be
a little exaggerated.
