I don't agree with the way to see it of Nikos. However, even if |
| 26 |
I agree with you in that having Ubuntu (which is another choice) |
| 27 |
is a good thing, I don't agree that Gentoo should be |
| 28 |
yet-another-ubuntu. |

Gentoo is Gentoo, and Ubuntu is Ubuntu. If your mother uses Ubuntu, |
| 31 |
that's fine. But we don't need to lower the acceptance level of |
| 32 |
Gentoo so your mother can use it. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I think that it's fair to ask a minimal degree of will to read |
| 35 |
and learn for a distro like Gentoo. The rest of Gentoo users do |
| 36 |
it, no one died that I know of because of it. |
