1 Hi!
2
3 1) The linuxiso.org statement about Gentoo's i686 ISO isn't correct.
4
5 http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=45
6 Gentoo Linux uses an enhanced BSD ports-style package system.
7 The "ix86" ISO is a minimal install CD that downloads and compiles
8 needed packages, while the "i686" ISO contains packages pre-compiled
9 for i686 (Pentium Pro) systems and above.

11 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/build.html
12 "it contains the same stuff as on our 16Mb ISO,
13 plus a pre-built i686 base system ... and semi-built i686 base system"
14
15 2) You have so nice Gentoo logos on your site, why are you (nearly)
16 the only one on the linuxiso.org overview without a logo?
