Personally I couldn't care less what anyone (e.g. distrowatch) is writing about gentoo. What I do see however is that the atmosphere on -dev has become such (and is still, even after the latest big flame) that arguments (that often get personal) dominate the discussions. The bad part about it is that it drives away users interested in development, and even worse, developers. This has developed to a point where development discussions is hardly held on the -dev list. I want to stop the main gentoo development forum from becomming a debian^H^H^H^H^H^Hgentoo-politics. Paul ps. If someone wanted to start a gentoo-politics, by all means, go ahead, just don't expect anyone to read it. -- Paul de Vrieze Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.devrieze.net
