gentoo



My main problem with Gentoo is their repeated comparison to *BSD the port 
system. The similarities to emerge are almost non-existant.

Gentoo may mature into a fine distrobution, but for the moment I feel it's 
popularity is do the the fact that it lures people in with a faux novelty.

Not to mention their abuse of the color purple.
