Actually, the devs are working on at least two systems to make Gentoo more attractive to the enterprise. I subscribed to the gentoo-dev ML a couple of days ago and already have read about a system to help admins with security issues as well as a talk of "releases". Once that's done, Gentoo will become viable for the enterprise and outsourcableness (is that a word?) will soon follow. Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
