I agree that this is getting a bit off-topic. If anybody wants to |
9 |
brainstorm about how udev ought to work, I'd suggest finding their |
10 |
mailing list and posting it there. |

Gentoo is a distro. We take the stuff other people make and make it |
13 |
work nicely together. Our value add comes from the source-based |
14 |
concept and the fact that we do support a pretty wide variety of |
15 |
configurations, within the confines of what the upstream projects |
16 |
allow. If your favorite webapp supports mysql, postgres, or sqlite |
17 |
for the backend chances are you'll find that Gentoo supports all |
18 |
three. However, if your favorite webapp only supports mysql then |
19 |
chances are that we won't write a full postgres integration layer |
20 |
simply because mysql is for losers. |

If you want more options - then somebody has to write them so that we |
23 |
can integrate them. |
