1. How big can the total get? How big is it now? Is it half full? 2/3? 3/4? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
2. Is there any information about what *Gentoo* users, to be |
| 16 |
distinguished from the overall Linux user base, do with their systems |
| 17 |
that would guide the packages into "themes", such as science, |
| 18 |
multimedia, network security, office, programming languages, web |
| 19 |
applications/servers, etc.? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
3. Could there be more than one, with "themed" DVDs like multimedia or |
| 22 |
science only available for a nominal price from the store? Something |
| 23 |
like RHEL -- the source is freely available on line as required by the |
| 24 |
GPL and someone like CentOS could come along and remaster, but people |
| 25 |
who wanted the convenience of downloading an ISO would pay, say, $10 or |
| 26 |
$20 to support Gentoo. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
In the absence of themes, I'd just say "more programming languages, |
| 30 |
Rails and more Ruby stuff, more multimedia, more science, more network |
| 31 |
tools, ..." That's what I use -- everything I have on my systems would |
| 32 |
easily fit on a LiveDVD, but I could go ahead and build my own with |
| 33 |
Catalyst. |
