Those are not important in any case where the budget dictates matters |
| 20 |
(i.e. everywhere). Those aren't even good things to bring into play |
| 21 |
against RH and FBSD, because those do that fine, too. |

What really matters boils down to: |
| 24 |
- easy, cost-effective maintainance (I doubt that Gentoo will be the |
| 25 |
winner after all) |
| 26 |
- more productive for the task (I would say that Gentoo would be that |
| 27 |
e.g. for software development) |
| 28 |
- needed customization can be done the easiest |
| 29 |
- admin skills are available |
