Gentoo: Ten Years Emerge
,----[ Quote ]
| Gentoo, the most popular source based
| distribution, has turned ten years old. What
| benefits does a such a system provide over its
| binary distros? As Linux becomes more and more
| popular, is there still a place for source based
| distros?

More explanations: why nano is Gentoo's âdefault editorâ
,----[ Quote ]
| Newbie problem: finally, there is another note:
| both Emacs and VI (and respective clones) arenât
| exactly the most user-friendly editors. A newbie
| user who has no clue how to work in Gentoo is
| unlikely to guess at first sight how to use either
| of them, while nano is pretty much the easiest
| thing you might find around. You can fight as much
| as you want about powerfulness (Emacs and VI are
| obviously much more powerful than nano) and you
| can fight about relative easiness of use (:w
| versus C-x C-w) but nano is going to win over both
| of them in that regard.

| After a very long recruitment period, I eventually became a Gentoo
|
| developer, yay! Iâll be helping out in Gentoo Portage and KDE
| teams. This is a good thing for Sabayon, thanks to this we hope
| to be able to reduce our Portage overlay size (mostly containing
| build/misc fixes) by a good 60% by injecting changes (when
| possible) directly into the Portage tree.

Congrats Fabio!

| Well itâs official, Fabio is part of the Gentoo
| developers team now. This is a great thing for
| Sabayon and Gentoo. It didnât come easy tho, but
| with support and his desire to do it, he did it.
| Our relationship with gentoo gets better and
| better all the time. One just has to put the
| negative comments aside and remember what is
| important, making it all better.
