       | My understanding is that it was created after the founder of
       | Gentoo had some disagreements about the direction of the distro
       | and forked. Many of the big distinctions (like git instead of
       | rsync for updates; gentoo supports both now) have eroded over
       | time.

         | bit too much segmentation.
