[expert] Newsflash: Gentoo has forked.

2003-06-26 Thread Lyvim Xaphir

Gentoo has been one of MDK's greatest competitors so far, maintaining
fourth place at Distrowatch.com right behind Red Hat.  Mandrake of course
has almost consistently maintained it's first place position there.

I find it interesting that so far we in the Mandrake world have avoided
forking, thus maintaining our strength in concentrated form.  Even though
there are disagreements and disputes.  It shows the strength of the
Mandrake community.

Mandrakians seem to be strong in that they are able to put up with
disagreements and flaws without getting totally annoyed and just leavi?g.
 I think this is because mainly that we have voices in the form of votes
and the mailing lists.  As well as the forums.  So there is the
impression that everyone is helping to some degree.

  No, that was Lunar...gentoo is a parallel and unrelated
  development.
