I think you understood Gentoo wrong. Gentoo IS a foundation and, AFAIK, has never been meant to be something else. Gentoo provides an extremly flexible foundation to build the system exactly as you like. That's why it is different. Ubuntu,Fedora,Suse,Debian are *distros*: they provide a more or less ready-to-go system with certain quirks, attitudes, goodies and so on, on a silver plate. Gentoo instead provides a way to put up and maintain the system as you like. You want skyscrapers? Gentoo gives you what you need to build them, but needs not to care about them. What you want is probably a Gentoo-derived distro, not Gentoo itself. Have you considered looking at Sabayon? m. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
