Zynot Foundation Forks Gentoo

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday June 25, 2003 @06:01PM from the awaiting-gentoo-sporking-eagerly dept.

deque_alpha writes "The Gentoo Linux distribution has been forked by a group of Gentoo developers and community members. This fork is being placed under the control of the non-profit Zynot Foundation, which will "hold the source code, trademarks, and any other intellectual property developed by and for its community." The goals of the fork include improving stability and cross-platform reliability to bring the Gentoo-developed technology to the enterprise and embedded arenas." Another reader points out Zack Welch's long article at Zynot.org on reasons for forking the Gentoo distribution.

I like my Mandrake 9.1 just fine, thank you. I've used just about every other major distro (multiple versions of each) except SuSE, Slack, and Debian.
