Gentoo is for fairly experienced Linux users who want real control |
| 13 |
& are prepared to put a bit of time into maintaining their box(es). |
| 14 |
There will always be people who try it & find it too time-consuming |
| 15 |
or are simply not experienced enough to handle its challenges. |
| 16 |
There is no other distro which offers anything like what Gentoo offers |
| 17 |
& until there is, Gentoo will remain alive & fairly healthy. |

BTW 'Distrowatch' has its annual review today |
| 20 |
with a rather snide report on Gentoo as no longer being fashionable (grin). |
