   Debian and Gentoo distributions are not chaotic, but I think that
   Gentoo is primarily oriented for desktop, although one can use it
   happily as server. Gentoo portage is inspired by ports :).

  What is meaning of your words? I am missing the point. You are asking
  why is someone starting the war? And on other hand you say that we
  should fight against Microsoft OSes? This kind of hatred is in my
  humble opinion sign of inmaturity. It is really so hard to respect
  others? To respect their choices, reasons? Why? If one could invest
  his time he puts into hatred aimed towards Microsoft, if one could
  invest it to further promote/develop his OS of choice instead, then it
  would definitely be a better world for my servers and desktops to live
  in. Don't you think?

> I hate the following wars:

   I just add: Windows vs Linux/Unix.

   If you are really that nice, why are you inducing others to make war
   with Windows? :)


	Cheers,
