Oh, I'd never want to see Gentoo become like that! But that doesn't mean we can attempt to make a sub-project to make things at least better for the enterprise folks. Whether that be creating tools to help management multiple Gentoo machines, or dealing with a more 'stable' branch. I'm not saying we'll ever achieve a level of where RHEL is, but we can at least make it more manageable for folks. I know that won't help companies that require a service agreement since we as Gentoo will never be able to do that. I get the sense that when people hear 'enterprise' they think we want to take Gentoo to becoming a corporate monster like RH. I pray and hope that never happens. All I'd like to see is a sub-project devoted to Gentoo in the enterprise. It'd sit in a similar role as Hardened Gentoo does providing tools, etc for folks in the enterprise. Let the people who want to use Gentoo as a 'hobbist' distro use it like that, and let the people that want to use it in the enterprise use it as that. Btw, I'm hoping to get this said sub-project going once I get settled in with my move and new job. At least get some organization sorted with it. -- Lance Albertson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Infrastructure | Operations Manager --- Public GPG key: <http://www.ramereth.net/lance.asc> Key fingerprint: 0423 92F3 544A 1282 5AB1 4D07 416F A15D 27F4 B742 ramereth/irc.freenode.net
