One paragraph, perhaps. :)<BR/><BR/>I suppose if I <EM>had</EM> to try to sum up Gentoo in a sentence, it'd be something like this:<BR/><BR/>"Gentoo Linux is the most powerful, owningest, bestest advancest buttkickingest l33test t3hw1nest operating system."<BR/><BR/>But that's hardly worthy of being included in a book!nightmorphhttp://dev.gentoo.org/~nightmorphnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998418780028044861.post-35773571758025573552008-02-28T06:32:00.000+01:002008-02-28T06:32:00.000+01:00@nightmorph: I won't disagree :) But packaging everything that Gentoo really <B>is</B> into a single simple sentence would be extremely hard and probably futile.<BR/><BR/>While not being 100% correct I feel it is a line that delivers well and to me it conveys a good deal of the spirit I believe Gentoo represents.Gunnar Wrobelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05751776969338923853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998418780028044861.post-37578340326676380692008-02-28T00:13:00.000+01:002008-02-28T00:13:00.000+01:00Since when is Gentoo "All about choices"? That's not our motto. That's not in any of our philosophies nor mission statements nor any of our docs, you know.<BR/><BR/>I've even <A HREF="http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/nightmorph/2007/02/27/it_s_not_about_choice" REL="nofollow">blogged about this before</A>. I disagree with the idea that we're "all about choice", but as long as the rest of your book is good, then congrats on the new book. There's precious little dead-tree Gentoo available.nightmorphhttp://dev.gentoo.org/~nightmorphnoreply@blogger.com
