I ask about the use of the phrase "Gentoo Linux" once upon ago, and I |
| 11 |
think it was either grant or doug (heck, maybe it was the elusive |
| 12 |
spider ;) that pointed out that there is "Gentoo Linux" - that's where |
| 13 |
you install the kernel, baselayout, etc., and that's the part that can |
| 14 |
never be dropped, and there's "Gentoo the MetaDistribution" which |
| 15 |
includes the linux, but also includes the various ports. But in the end |
| 16 |
- we still produce gentoo linux and adapt ourselves to other's os' (or |
| 17 |
them to us as the case may be) as we can. i feel like i'm starting to |
| 18 |
ramble, but the point is that first and foremost we are a linux distro |
| 19 |
(would you put portage on slack? ubuntu? mandriva?) who also wears the |
| 20 |
hat of a metadistro - the distinction being in the system built with |
| 21 |
gentoo and the system built from gentoo... |
