Yeah, the good old days when Gentoo was the new cool kid in block were over. |

If you analyze a moment what kind of users navigate through available |
| 21 |
distros on DW, you will actually see that our rank is better than before. |
| 22 |
The users that end up on DW, searching for a new distro to fit their |
| 23 |
needs, are looking mostly for a desktop distro. Since Sabayon is mostly |
| 24 |
a pre-installed Gentoo build for desktop purposes, we could claim that |
| 25 |
our score is actually Gentoo.HPD + Sabayon.HPD. On the last 6 months, |
| 26 |
this would place us on the 4th rank. Not bad for a meta-distribution, |
| 27 |
isn't it? :) |
