I have a different solution that should, no doubt, satisfy both sides: We fork Gentoo. Create a new distro, called GenOne. This distro will include only older wares such as GTK1, Kernel 2.4, libc5, XFree86, devfs, a.out binaries, DES passwords, etc. It will be just as good as Gentoo, but catered to old-timers and and those who prefer to reminisce about the good ol' days. -m -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
