Well, I think that fixing that abortion of an installation CD is of paramount concern. Like it or not, the first thing prospective new users see, is the installation process. In my opinion, it is of quintessential importance for Gentoo to have a normal, functional, easy installation CD. I've been using Gentoo since 2004. I know graduate students in Computer Science that use Ubuntu in lieu of Gentoo, solely based on the nightmare that installing Gentoo via a normal graphical install CD is.... If you do not like my opinion, you should look at what Daniel Robbins had to say, as I ran across a posting of his today, about this very issue. An awesome collection of techies does not gravitate users to join the ranks of distro users. A (easy) graphical installation method is a requirement. Gentoo get's tons of bad reviews, based on the installation process. Yes I've installed dozens of gentoo system, and the resulting product is wonderful, much akin to a girl with a great personality. However, she ain't every going to get 'laid' (become popular) because the (installation) process is *UGLY*. Let us first be honest about this, so it can be fixed. At that point ( a normal installation CD), Gentoo can take it's rightful place as a major distro.... ymmv, James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
