Is Gentoo Ready for Latest Linux Release? (InternetNews.com)

InternetNews.com inquires into the current state of Gentoo. "[Donnie] Berkholz is of the belief that if Gentoo creates a great developer community, they'll build a great distribution, which will naturally draw users. Though there is a caveat. 'I do think there is an upper limit on our user base in Gentoo's current form, because there's only so many people willing to build from source,' Berkholz noted. 'As hardware gets faster, that does increase, but it's still a matter of compiling OpenOffice.org for 3 hours versus installing a binary version of it in 5 minutes.'"
