Looks really bad to recommend another installation media (even if it |
| 25 |
is based on Gentoo) to people who want |
| 26 |
to install our distro. I'd rather Gentoo recommended the live DVDs we |
| 27 |
do from time to time than having these autobuilds around |
| 28 |
that seem to break far too often. |
