gentoo - wow!! - progress

[dep]

begin  Peter Ruskin's  quote:

| Good point about gentoo noticed so far:
| It had KDE *exactly* where I have always wanted it:
| 	/usr/kde/3/
| 	/usr/qt/3/
| ...and nothing of it in /usr/lib or /usr/share.  I imagine dep may
| be pleased with that.

dep is most assuredly *not* pleased with that -- it's in flagrant 
violation of the fhs! and gentoo's refusal to adopt the fhs is why it 
does not reside on any machines i have here. when gentoo adopts 
slavish adherence to the fhs, i will adopt gentoo, but until it does, 
i won't. there is a reason for this, too: i'll not play with anyone 
who makes such an effort at being a sole-supplier system. linux ought 
to be *exactly* what the software part of the unitedlinux 
distribution proposes to be. (the problem with unitedlinux is its 
"screw you, users" policy.) the only reason any of the commercial 
distros is tolerable is the relative ease with which one can make it 
into standard linux, though suse has done a great deal to make this 
more difficult, chiefly by dicking around with /etc.
