Interesting thread. I have used Gentoo in enterprise situations very |
| 2 |
successfully, and I think the whole QA/live-tree argument is moot. In |
| 3 |
an enterprise environment, you might have a backup/testing machine to |
| 4 |
run your updates on first before they went live. You also wouldn't run |
| 5 |
new packages unless they passed your own QA tests first. |

Given the incredible flexibility of portage to support local mirrors, |
| 8 |
binary package preparation, and localized versions of packages |
| 9 |
(portdir_overlay), I would say that Gentoo is quite a contender in the |
| 10 |
enterprise environment. |

| 12 |
Perhaps we need some enterprise documentation to help people realize the |
| 13 |
full potential of portage? |
