As seen from the discussion earlier this week, I don't think Gentoo has |
| 17 |
the proper open-mindness to create a proper enterprise distro. There are |
| 18 |
too many things that would get in the way of Gentoo proper to make it |
| 19 |
work right. I agree with Duncan that the best route is an outside |
| 20 |
project so that they don't have the constraints of Gentoo proper. Trying |
| 21 |
to inflict the ideals of an enterprise distro into Gentoo right now will |
| 22 |
be an uphill battle the whole way. Just look at all the comments made |
| 23 |
from my thread earlier. You cannot make an enterprise distro without |
| 24 |
focus or direction and a leader. You'll be stuck in committee decisions |
| 25 |
all the time. |

Not saying its impossible, but it won't be easy. |
