Thanks very much for your offer to distribute Gentoo Linux in Poland. Here are |
10 |
my thoughts on the subject. |
11 |
|
12 |
Right now, Gentoo Linux is at 1.0_rc6 and we feel that it needs a couple of |
13 |
more months before reaching 1.0. So I do not want to focus on a boxed product |
14 |
right this moment; maybe 3 months down the road would be a good time to start |
15 |
thinking about this. |
16 |
|
17 |
Also, because the Gentoo Linux sources and binaries are freely distributable, |
18 |
there is no legal way I can give you exclusive rights to Gentoo Linux in |
19 |
Poland. You probably know this already, but I thought I should say it just in |
20 |
case. |
21 |
|
22 |
That being said, it would always be possible for us to do an "official" boxed |
23 |
product release in Poland with your personal help, and with you acting as the |
24 |
sole distributor for this official boxed product. As long as we are talking |
25 |
about a "Gentoo Linux, the official boxed software product", rather than |
26 |
"Gentoo Linux the operating system", then we are on the same page. And of |
27 |
course we would certainly appreciate the opportunity to reach computer users in |
28 |
Poland. Please email me personally (drobbins@g.o) and we can discuss |
29 |
this further. |

Best Regards, |
