I understand that Al, but you must keep context in mind here. This |
| 22 |
mailing list, while perhaps not called the 'gentoo linux users list' |
| 23 |
is intended for support for Gentoo Linux. When you post here asking a |
| 24 |
question about running Gentoo on cygwin while neglecting to mention |
| 25 |
that fact you should not be surprised that some (most) do not know |
| 26 |
what you are talking about. At bare minimum you should have disclosed |
| 27 |
your rather rare and unique hardware/software environment. At best you |
| 28 |
should post to the gentoo-alt ML as Florian suggested. Questions of |
| 29 |
semantics aside, 'Gentoo' _is_ Gentoo Linux for probably 95% of users. |
