I know this is a joke and i know we have to make fun of Gentoo users for everything but this is taking it a little far... i mean Gentoolkit is a bunch of scripts bundled together. It requires _absolutely no compiling_ and thus would take just as long to install on Debian or any other system (unless you had to go find it yourself and download, check md5sum and unpack manually.. in which case it would take longer.)
Let's not make Gentoo users the Mormons of the Linux world by making fun of them for EVERY little thing that has little basis in reality and doesn't pertain to us so why should it bother us.


I'm not trying to flame Andrew or anyone else, i simply find it funny (and a little annoying) when someone gets worked up because i don't drink coffee, because, honestly, it doesn't affect them in the slightest. I get the same feeling when people get worked up (or even make snide little remarks) because i compile programs on my computer.
