If you see someone driving like an idiot, being a hazard to themselves and all ground-bound life forms, it is more likely a kid in a Honda (or something similar) with a wing and oversized muffler than someone in a car with no wing and functional improvements.
So what does this have to doing with anything gentoo related?
If you see someone compiling like an idiot, being a hazard to themselves and all internet-based life forms, it is more likely a kid using Gentoo (or something similar) with a piercing and oversized CFLAGS variable than someone using a distro with no compiling and functional improvements.
Most Linux users probably havent, Im generally snobbed for using gentoo, even though im not a dickhead who thinks that obscure (and seemingly obscene) gcc compile flags are the way to be a '1337 h4>3n f00'. In fact, I use gentoo out of familiarity, and stubborness. Im also somewhat devoted to my current install which has been going for 2 years now, despite my mistakes and failings - such as `rm -rf */home/public` whilst `pwd` ==/etc.
But I digress, my point is that I cop alot of flak from people because I use gentoo (they are mostly debian users, who consider gentoo to be something of a joke - almost akin to mandrake in the puppy-like "im want to help, i want to help - here, let me hide everything from you, and make it difficult to fix the mistakes I make" factor).
So Gentoo users seem to be treated like an underclass in the Linux using world, mostly because 'portage' is an "easy" and "stupid" package system. Or becuase its users are "easy" and "stupid". Thanks guys who have never bothered to respond to my attempts at conversation. Even though its the best way of managing a source based distro (yes, I've used slackware, and Im sorry but `make && make test && make install;` is just pedantic when compared to `emerge $PKG_NAME`). Portage is based on *BSD ports, and, although its not a true implementation, I am convinced that the people who display such hostility to gentoo and its users, certainly respect FreeBSD - although thats probably because they've never used it (No offence to people that have, I seem to be becoming the thing I am arguing against, and that is prejudice because of the actions of some users).
So what is it about Gentoo users that most of the other Linux users despise so much? Is it because most people install via source files as opposed to binary packages (which portage is more than capable of `man portage`). And before any AC's tell me that other Linux users dont talk to me because Im a jerk, and it's more than likely my fault - consider this, I get on fine with people I meet, and talk about computers and the like, and as soon as I mention that I use gentoo, they generally excuse themselves or just plain turn their backs.
So is there any real reason? Honestly? I dont see as much hostility to FreeBSD users or Slackware users.
Well, opera use the whitelisting, i just tryed the exploit on my friends pc (thats right, i have one), and he is using opera on 2k (he wont install linux the fool), and it reported shell as unknown, thus the whitelisting claim i made earlier.

Nope, still dont make sense
Yeah, that guy obviously uses gentoo, can you tell by the way him apes perfectly the www.funroll-loops.org "typical" gentoo user?
