1.You can go back to portage after paludis, please read before post,
and you can do it easy.
2.when it comes to speed paludis is much faster...man do a simple test,
stop talking if you don't know what you're talking about
3."The same people responsible for most problems."....WHAT? where did
that came from? what's the developer's personality has to do with
anything?Paludis has great support from it's developers(they've been
very helpful and pacient with me) and that is all I need to know about
the developer, if he is beating his wife it's not a matter of your
concern.
The last phrase deserves no comment. It's neither nice nor productive,
nor in any way positive, and might be regarded as an insult
