Well I wasn't trying to insult Gentoo, they definitely have a larger forum community than our mailing list has (If you google "forums" Gentoo is actually the first result). The only reason I didn't meantion the pros of Gentoo is because I was talking about Debian, not Gentoo. I didn't really want to go THAT off-topic. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGE6X5/o7Q/FCvPe0RAr9XAKClpeVGpBcZXkHICrsi15AuiEI84gCfax01 7RFv7OcR0oavkIZ9CBBi2fc= =3HmH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
