For us to support LSB: * We'd have to use RPM instead of portage * We'd have to support all the daft FHS ideas like /media, /srv and /wedonotunderstandtheunixfs * We'd have to make X support mandatory * We'd have to ship ancient versions of core libraries In fact, basically, we'd have to become RedHat. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
