"Over the past few days, I discovered that the Gentoo Foundation's charter is in the process of being revoked by the state of New Mexico, apparently due to regular paperwork not being filed by the trustees. What this means is that the Gentoo Foundation is currently hanging for its life by a string, and at any day could cease to exist as an entity. That is the very bad news. The good news is that I was able to talk to Grant Goodyear (trustee) this morning on the phone, and I have confirmed that Grant had received my email about the revocation issue that I sent 2 days ago and that he will be resolving this critical issue in the next couple of days by filing the appropriate paperwork with the state of New Mexico, and this paperwork will also remove me as President of the Foundation."

"If you really want to know how your Linux system runs, use slackware or LFS."
I'd love you to clarify the answer, and am surprised that slackware users don't use swaret. Although I'm not even sure why Slackware is even relevant. I'm not sure people learn GNU this way. The *only* thing I can think of is using commands they wouldn't always.
The only thing you *could* say as regards the silly comment about Slackware is that you have to learn how portage works, but then thats what makes Gentoo the easy to manage meta-distribution it is.
The package-management on Gentoo. If you are familiar with it, is to provide a balance between ease of maintenance vs micro-management which it does well. If there was a *better* way. I would use it.
I suspect your post is some kind of Distro smackdown comment, but I'd love to hear what you mean, as Slackware was my choice of Distribution, before Gentoo.
