Udev installs into such a path, and currently does not depend on |
| 9 |
systemd (in fact, they block each other). |

Obviously you don't use udev, but in general as more stuff ends up in |
| 12 |
systemd you'll probably find more important stuff with "systemd" in |
| 13 |
the filename. I'd suggest taking the time to understand what it is |
| 14 |
before you decide that you don't want it (speaking generally, I'm not |
| 15 |
suggesting that you didn't know what you're doing when you switched to |
| 16 |
eudev). Heck, even gummiboot is being merged into systemd. |

I don't think it is productive to go back and forth on the rest of |
| 19 |
this stuff. If folks take your advice and run into problems, they can |
| 20 |
always ask you for help. One of the wonderful things about this |
| 21 |
mailing list is that a new person can ask a problem and get 12 |
| 22 |
different answers with absolutely nothing distinguishing between |
| 23 |
somebody who started using Gentoo the week before and somebody who has |
| 24 |
been using it for ten years. :) |

That would be the #1 selling pre-installed linux desktop distro: |
| 33 |
ChromeOS. Most Linux users don't realize that there are far more |
| 34 |
laptops sold with software installed using emerge than with apt-get. |
| 35 |
You probably won't find that tidbit on distrowatch either. :) |
| 36 |

| 37 |
CoreOS is also a Gentoo-derived distro, being based on ChromiumOS. |

It should be noted that in their end state I don't think either is |
| 40 |
shipped with the portage package manager actually installed. Their |
| 41 |
master images are built using it, however. |
