I agree with Steven. The way Gentoo is currently accessible was a big |
| 25 |
inducement for me to become a gentoo fan. I also run Mandrake and they |
| 26 |
try to keep their Cooker community for developers only and it doesn't |
| 27 |
work too well. They are only interested in fixing the bleeding edge, |
| 28 |
with scant regard (and scant available expertise) to deal with last |
| 29 |
month's problems. |
