17 I have a pretty small desktop system syncing weekly, and 2 others
18 syncing from it. Every week I see upgrades in many packages, from
19 system to desktop applications. I have 3 stable systems, with
20 different roles (a server, a workstation and one in "dumb terminal
21 with a web browser" mode), and they're completing 2 years of constant,
22 careful and flawless upgrades.

24 You don't need statistics, or reports, or whatever. This list is the
25 living proof of Gentoo existence and the constant flow of information
26 regarding it. Another good point is that BGO (bugs.gentoo.org) is also
27 active, so, development is constant.

29 I don't wanna sound rude, but this discussion is almost the same as
30 that one, as unproductive and "starving for attention" too (but with a
31 nice title), and this is the third edition. Don't get me wrong, but
32 what exactly is the point of starting this threads? If you're worried
33 about Gentoo slowing down or even dying, don't be, Gentoo is alive and
34 kicking.

39 Filosofia de TI: Programadores de verdade consideram o conceito "o que
40 você vê é o que você tem" tão ruim em editores de texto quanto em
41 mulheres. Não, o programador de verdade quer um editor de texto do
42 estilo "você pediu, você levou" - complicado, indecifrável, poderoso,
43 impiedoso, perigoso.
