Here are the pages from IBM DevelopperWorks on Gentoo (by Daniel Robbins): http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-dist1.html Created attachment 41200 [details]
A Brief History
Its a small write-up on the history of Gentoo to be added to about.xml. Since I
didn't find about.xml, this is a .txt file. I just copied the text verbatim &
wrote up the "A Brief History" Section. I did refer to the IBM Developworks
Article by Daniel Robbins.
Nice text, I'll see that it gets added to the website :) Cool :) Any changes to it? Or does it look ok as it is? Maybe this : Teams of volunteers help keep Gentoo on the bleeding edge and patched to ensure maximum security. Should Read: Teams of volunteers help keep Gentoo on the bleeding edge and patched to ensure maximum security & stability. A really small nitpick.
I'd also change ("Gentoo Linux in a paragraph", 2nd sentence)
"Extreme performance, configurability and a top-notch user and developer community.."
to
"Extreme configurability and performance, top-notch user and developer community.."
Everybody talk lately how much Gentoo is about configurability/tunability and not as such about performance, and here we are - having performance #1 thing throughout the docs :).

Fixed in CVS. Thanks for the input! |
