I would think this port would potentially open the biggest market to |
| 21 |
gentoo, and the scariest one too... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
In order I would say: |
| 24 |
-Learn about OSX and "system provided services" |
| 25 |
-Take a look at the BSD and OSX to see if there is QC things that would |
| 26 |
be usefull to bring over. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Unless there is a team really needed it, I would wait until the 2 point |
| 29 |
have stabilised and feel comfortable. |
