gentoo is held on together by passion. well, not all of gentoo. MY |
| 14 |
gentoo. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
it was never going to be a mainstream distro. might have been a fad for |
| 17 |
a while, for some people able to follow guides. but people who use this |
| 18 |
distro... do not need guides. |

it is what is. a collection of hacks for hackers. gentoo doesn't and |
| 21 |
shouldn't compete in a popularity contest. but on the other hand, I |
| 22 |
don't plan to stop using it even if the devs magically dissapear over |
| 23 |
night. I'll go back to lfs before I'd go back to any binary distro. and |
| 24 |
I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one. |

people who actually choose gentoo for what it is, do not need their |
| 27 |
hand held. do not whine. and certainly don't care about "the number of |
| 28 |
this" or the "number of that" or "how great that would be". you don't |
| 29 |
like it? it's prolly not for you. |
