[Sussex] Gentoo forked...

Sorry,
I intended to say 'I would agree that the web-site you mention
_is_biased_' :)

I would agree that the web-site you mention is unbiased.  There
certianly is an entertaining one-sided tirade.  It did however appear to
me to be spoken by someone who knew they were somewhat over-reacting,
and who repeatedly pointed out that they were talking from their own
specialised point of view.  

The discourse was filled with references to his wishes to make a
commercial success of a service / product based upon this technology. In
my ignorance, I suspect tha these are probably very similar issues to
many that faced the likes of Red-Hat in the early stages.  In Redhat's
case the commercial environment seemed to create more success.  Will
this be the future of the Gentoo build?

Well Paul,

You see the trouble with slashdot is that anybody can get anything up 
there... you shouldn't take Zachary's words as gospel.

Having seen this thing played out on the gentoo developer list my 
(somewhat) unbiased opinion is this:

One pissed off developer has left Gentoo and wants to start a new 
project based on Gentoo code.  His web site contains a tirade that is 
deeply one-sided, massively exaggerated and contains blatant lies.
