I'll second that request. > I did say 'personal experience'. Right, a number of messaages after you said "most people". Your original statement came off as if it was backed by some report or study. I was just interested in which one and where I could read it. No matter now. > I quoted Gentoo as a source of why some are unhappy with Mandrake as they > have reasons why they chose to abandon Mandrake. Yeah, but Gentoo is a whole different philosophy in Linux distributions, so much so that the philosophy shadows (by a great amount, IMHO) the fact that it uses .deb rather than .rpm. In other words, IMO, people go to Gentoo for it's distribution philosophy (linux tuned to specific hardware) not because it's .deb. Gentoo is a red-herring in the .deb vs. .rpm debate. b. -- Brian J.
