The professional/management argument is silly. Most avoid Gentoo. |
| 21 |
Most companies, want to be able to pay for support. Not to mention |
| 22 |
certifications and such for those they hire. None of which Gentoo has |
| 23 |
regardless of stability. Not to mention reputation... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Those that tend to run Gentoo have their own interest in such. I have |
| 26 |
seen many migrate from rather than to Gentoo. Large companies, who's |
| 27 |
names we would all know. One of the few left is Meetup.com. They run |
| 28 |
Gentoo as do some others. Seems Tivo does stuff with Gentoo, Google, |
| 29 |
Sony, etc. Some tend to hire Gentoo devs... |
