Dear Friends,Gentoo on OSX totally rocks :) As one who has extensively used both DP & F, and who has [through unusual & controversial means] hack-ported Imendio's Planner to Darwin (see the Fink & Imendio mailing lists for great controversy), it seems to me that Gentoo is the Way ... I'm planning, in humility, to offer to help in the emerging :) (will email you soon, Hasan Khalil), ... to integrate linux with OSX is like a dream :)

All of your points stand, but I just think that your 'semantics' are a bit harder than the reality. :)Tell an apple support rep you have installed custom software in /System and /usr and let me know the response ;) hint: have your OS X install media handyBeen there, done that. They didn't say anything about having to reinstall. To tell the truth, they treated me better once they knew I wasn't another Dumb User(tm). Only done it once, though, so I may have just been lucky. Please share any relevant personal experiences you have.As a side note...I've been poking around the portage cvs, and its very repo agnostic...do you think the fink and DP folks will get upset when we start emerging fink and DP ports? ;)Not sure I understood you correctly. Do you mean to say that we'd be able to use fink and DP repos and have portage understand them? Obviously, using their repos would be pretty useless for the most part, but it'd still be an interesting exercise in abuse of portage features.-- Hasan Khalil eBuild and Porting Co-Lead Gentoo for Mac OS X
