14 Chris, I still think that it is misleading people as you can see on this
15 list. If I understand it right you're not using anything from Gentoo but
16 as soon as you mention Gentoo (or Gentoo-styled) people will assume
17 that you're going to use portage for package management as it is the
18 major difference between distributions.
