Although I'm a Gentoo user, I have to laugh along with that page, because there
are definitely people who take the "source is better" perspective a bit too
far. It's also of note, however, that the author of that page has picked the
worst of the worst comments from the Gentoo forums and other places on the web.
It's definitely easy to paint Gentoo in a bad light when you only takes quotes
from the retards.

For example, one quote talked about Debian vs Gentoo and complained about
dependencies(!) and then asks if Debian has anything like Portage... You see,
he shouldn't even be comparing Gentoo vs Debian because if he doesn't know
about apt-get, then he's never even *READ* about Debian. Obviously he's not
qualified to compare those two distributions!

Anyway, I got quite a few laughs out of that page, but I'll still continue to
use Gentoo, because I like Portage and Gentoo's configuration scheme.

To each their own! (Oh and there's nothing wrong with an import so long as you
ACTUALLY mod it UNDER the hood. There are a couple fast eclipses around here).
