I have a pretty small desktop system syncing weekly, and 2 others syncing from it. Every week I see upgrades in many packages, from system to desktop applications. I have 3 stable systems, with different roles (a server, a workstation and one in "dumb terminal with a web browser" mode), and they're completing 2 years of constant, careful and flawless upgrades. You don't need statistics, or reports, or whatever. This list is the living proof of Gentoo existence and the constant flow of information regarding it. Another good point is that BGO (bugs.gentoo.org) is also active, so, development is constant. I don't wanna sound rude, but this discussion is almost the same as that one, as unproductive and "starving for attention" too (but with a nice title), and this is the third edition. Don't get me wrong, but what exactly is the point of starting this threads? If you're worried about Gentoo slowing down or even dying, don't be, Gentoo is alive and kicking. -- Daniel da Veiga Filosofia de TI: Programadores de verdade consideram o conceito "o que você vê é o que você tem" tão ruim em editores de texto quanto em mulheres. Não, o programador de verdade quer um editor de texto do estilo "você pediu, você levou" - complicado, indecifrável, poderoso, impiedoso, perigoso. ï¿½ï¿½í¢‹ï¿½z� ��(��&j)b� b�
