Distribution quotes of the week

Actually power users install Gentoo from memory, it's really not much more, than untarring two tarfiles, editing a few configs, making the kernel and installing the bootloader.
-- Antoni Grzymala

To cut a long story short - lots of people who use centos dont understand what the project is about, what we do, why we do it and how they can help. On the other hand, we also seem unable to hold people's attention ( and i mean people at large, not just the centos community ) in order to get them thinking about the project ( and not the distro, remember project != distro, needs of the hour are trivial, needs for the project to sustain and exist are more important ).
