With Gentoo, once you are up and running, releases become very unimportant. What do you think?
That's true, but ever wonder why so many people expend so much effort to have easy-to-use installers? It turns out that if installation is a pain, many fewer people actually end up using your software. Gentoo is more than just Portage. Now, maybe people in Linux land have been too obsessed with having a super-friendly installer - but it needs to be friendly-enough (and compatible-enough) and it might be a good idea to take a fresh look at how to streamline the Gentoo install experience. Right now, installing Gentoo is a chore, and the many wonderful choices of Gentoo end up making the install rather complicated. So I definitely support ideas to help make our installation process better/streamlined and less confusing. There are a lot of easy little things that could be done. -Daniel -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
