This is my first and ONLY post on this topic, as discussing Gentoo
disgusts me.

That topic has been gone for hours.  It was not set in response to a
problem with gentoo and gaim, it was set because, as usual, the
instant gentoo comes up five gentoo users come out of the woodwork and
start trashing other distributions/package systems/whatever for
reasons they do not understand and cannot defend.  Every *single* time
the word 'gentoo' comes up in that channel, some gentoo user starts
talking about how much better gentoo is than everything else ... and
then typically proves to all of us exactly how much he/she does not
know about why gentoo may or may not be better than anything at all,
including a dead sheep.

I know that not all gentoo users are like that, and I know that there
are users of other distributions who do the same thing.  The argument
at the time was over gentoo.

This issue is closed.
