Gentoo Founder: Your Choices with Gentoo
,----[ Quote ]
| If you don't like the way Gentoo is going and are feeling the urge to switch
| distros, consider Sabayon Linux. Sabayon is a desktop-oriented Gentoo with
| great hardware support. Too bloated, you say? Geared towards desktop users,
| you say? Well, did you know that Fabio added a base "stage3+" gui-less
| install image to the latest 3.4 build of Sabayon, which is basically an
| enhanced vanilla Gentoo? And this basic install is even a more recent build
| than 2007.0. If you're sick of Gentoo the organization but not comfortable
| leaving Gentoo the distro, make a statement by using the Sabayon base install
| and help to make it a long-term viable alternative to Gentoo proper. Let
| people know that you are using Sabayon, not Gentoo. Sure, Sabayon is a
| derivative of Gentoo, but it's also separated enough that there is an
| opportunity to do something new.

The Disconnect That Could Fail Thousands

| Knowing that this isn't right, I thumb thru the seventy or so Live CD disks I
| have and grab the one I know that gets this right...but wait. It only trails
| Ubuntu in the Distrowatch lineup by a few hundred hits...what about, oh, I
| don't know...let's try something obscure...let's go down the line a bit.
| Let's see who is well down the list there...It needs to be a debian distro,
| something that doesn't get too much publicity...Oh, let's try this.
|
| DreamLinux.
|
| Upon firing it up and doing an immediate install, imagine my surprise.
|
| Without so much as having to install KdiskFree or any other third party
| disk/file manager, whaddaya know...there are my drives and files. I then
| install KDE since DreamLinux is an Xfce environment by design. Yep, a click
| on the /mnt/ file shows all my drives right there...

Why Having 500+ Distros is a Good Thing

| Perhaps next time the author might think about what they're
| saying...because limiting the number of distros out there is
| absolutely NOT the way to go to accomplish anything other
| than limiting innovation.
