Zynot Foundation Forks Gentoo
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.

Dear rotten.com,
I am unsure if you are aware of the problems that your "Incident with the bird" picture has caused on the popular technology website slashdot (http://slashdot.org).
Many users of this site's messageboards are posting links to http://smoke.rotten.com/bird/ and making text based representations of a bird on a man's penis. Frankly, while I am pro-freedom, this type of photo sickens me. Could you please move the location of the bird page on your site to keep slashdot readers from seeing things that are completeley unrelated to computers and technology? I'm not asking you to remove the content, just to relocate it.
FYI the text representation of the bird is:
*p_e_n_i_s_b_i_r_d_p_e_n_i_s_b_i_r_d*

(Note: CmdrTaco's penis length exaggerated for effect only)
with a link to the offensive site (http://smoke.rotten.com/bird/) underneath, these "Penis Birds" are posted by Penis Bird Guy, Penis Bird MAN and several other users.

I remember sporks.
They gave them to us with lunch (and Tang) when they were doing the Gemini space walks. They were transparent blue with a NASA logo on them and we thought they were cool as hell.
Well, they were, to a 6 year old... Back then...
Actually, there does seem to have been some knifing going on.
Nice one! Might want to change the favicon, as I could see it while it loaded in a background tab. Better luck next time, mate.
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.

Burninated!! Trogdar! Aaaaaarrrrgh.
How the hell can it be "nice" to try to slander a distro with bullshit. You don't have the slightest idea of what you're talking about. Get a life and learn to understand your surroundings better. What do Slashdot got against Gentoo? The entire posting by simoniker was a flamebait to attract moron replies like this.
Neato. The parent troll is a perfect example of the mods rewarding mediocrity for the parent's scorn of something intelligent. Bravo clueless balthan for highlighting the uberparent's point perfectly!
Random Guy: Well fork off then, you forker.
Here's some PG material for you
Enjoy...
Just like you can always tell a cock-sucking faggot by how they nitpick on shit? IN soviet russia? Why kind of fucking troll is that anyway? QUIT ABUSING MY AC ACCOUNT.
