Just to throw my two-devil's-advocate-cents in here, I maintain a gentoo server and -- |
| 2 |
though I certainly appreciate getting well-tested, problem-free updates -- I think the |
| 3 |
biggest problem gentoo faces is how far behind the curve it is. It's just plain |
| 4 |
embarassing that there are still no (unmasked) versions of PHP5, MySQL4.1 or 5, or Java |
| 5 |
5/Tomcat 5.5 in portage... all of which have been freely available for over a year. |

I understand that it's an all volunteer effort and I really do appreciate all the work of |
| 8 |
the devs. However, as counter-point to this discussion of a stable tree, I am wondering |
| 9 |
aloud if the developers' time might be better spent catching gentoo up with the rest of |
| 10 |
the world (esp. FreeBSD). |

Like I say, just my .02... |
