The professional/management argument is silly. Most avoid Gentoo. Most companies, want to be able to pay for support. Not to mention certifications and such for those they hire. None of which Gentoo has regardless of stability. Not to mention reputation... Those that tend to run Gentoo have their own interest in such. I have seen many migrate from rather than to Gentoo. Large companies, who's names we would all know. One of the few left is Meetup.com. They run Gentoo as do some others. Seems Tivo does stuff with Gentoo, Google, Sony, etc. Some tend to hire Gentoo devs... -- William L. Thomson Jr.
