I don't have statistics to support this, but it seems obvious to me that things have slowed way down from the pace they used to be on. In the beginning, it felt to me like the devs were building an extremely powerful and flexible foundation upon which all kinds of amazing things were going to be built. The foundation is still good but where are the skyscrapers? Also the Gentoo Weekly Newsletter not being published in 2 months is an easy-to-analyze indication of slowage. > > FreeBSD is supposed to > > be the closest relation, but even that won't do.

I think all kinds of great things "should" be built upon the Gentoo foundation. Although I doubt I'll ever use it, the graphical installer is a good example. Different layers going in different directions could be built on top of Gentoo's foundation. To me, it seems flexible enough to allow for anything. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
