Yeah, it's me again. > Otherwise, I'm interested in what your definition of "forward" is. How about anything?

But Gentoo is at this point *only* a foundation. It needs more (removable) layers. FreeBSD created extra layers on its own foundation and called the result PC-BSD which is aimed at the make-it-easy crowd. PC-BSD is gaining momentum quickly and that will benefit FreeBSD greatly. I repeat, that will benefit FreeBSD greatly. That's exactly the kind of thing Gentoo should be doing. Removable layers for ease of use, removable layers for server deployment, removable layers for anything and everything. That's moving forward. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
