Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't:

www.mandrakelinux.com

a "fork" of

www.redhat.com

?

Did the latter go out of business as a result?

Hell, I'm typing this up on Mac OS X which is a "fork" of BSD.

Debian has "forks" too. Must I go on?

There's really nothing to worry about here guys.

Trying to figure out what exactly a "fork" is. Is that
when they take the source code of a distro and make
their own out of it? Thats the conclusion that I came
up with after reading. Also, by my reading ;), its
that Zach did not agree with someone I think his name
is Daniel, so he left and took other developers with
him to create Zynot. Am I right?

As a beginner to Gentoo, Im about to install it, does
this fork thing have an end result on the user? Sorry
for all these questions, just really curious. Thanks
for your time.
