Re: And Microsoft moves closer to Linus Torvald
I don't really think the comparison between Gentoo and Windows as being comparable solutions for end users is valid.
Gentoo was never designed for end-users. My grandmother will never tweak her GCC settings or know what the heck fomit-frame-pointer means. I don't think I'll see my 9 year old sister compiling Open Office for a 2% speed increase. Configuring Gentoo takes a much more technically savvy person than one who can assemble their computer from components. It's an apples to oranges comparison.
A good comparison would be to compare one of the easier to use distributions such as Red Hat or SuSe to MS Windows.
