I agree on this. Using portage on another distribution basically means that |
| 14 |
gradually your system is being transformed into gentoo. Only if you would use |
| 15 |
your own portage tree, that would be different. Also just using portage on |
| 16 |
another system with full dependency tracking and updates can seriously make |
| 17 |
your system non-functional. |
