Yep, gentoo.org really seems to have been created from devs and users |
| 20 |
for devs and users. There is nothing like a "Features" page or "Why to |
| 21 |
choose Gentoo" for newcomers. Heck, you have to search hard to even |
| 22 |
learn whether it is suitable for desktops or servers! Just compare |
| 23 |
ubuntu.com with gentoo.org, for example. The difference is striking. |
