Gentoo is dying. by Anonymous Coward · 2003-06-25 04:46 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I am here today to dicuss my discust with Gentoo Linux! Why can't they make a version of XFree86 that works! I have now threw by gentoo disc in the bin and have installed a REAL linux distribution.

It's not linux that is not ready for the desktop, it is half assed distros like gentoo, debian and gnu/hurd that are not ready for the desktop.

I am now comforatble on my shiny new gnome desktop which unlike the gentoo version, dosen't slow to a halt when a cron job is runining.

Support Qualtity, it may not be free, but you DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

They weren't blown up. They were eaten by Saddamn and his Republican Guards, silly! They also were attacked with shoes. And I think they never existed, too. Something like that.

Only on slashdot would the text of the article get modded as Offtopic. I love it.

(Note, I am not the poster of the article text, it was some AC.)

They aren't running out because they're NATting like fiends over there. If you don't mind not having a Real IP (tm) it isn't a problem.

That's true, however as of late they have been very conservative in their coverage, specifically the new deregulation that has occured, mostly because they're owned by AOL/Time-Warner, which causes obvious conflicts of interest. That having been said, Fox News is a much larger offender and has been for quite a while.
