Zynot Foundation Forks Gentoo 455
deque_alpha writes "The Gentoo Linux distribution has been forked by a group of Gentoo developers and community members. This fork is being placed under the control of the non-profit Zynot Foundation, which will "hold the source code, trademarks, and any other intellectual property developed by and for its community." The goals of the fork include improving stability and cross-platform reliability to bring the Gentoo-developed technology to the enterprise and embedded arenas." Another reader points out Zack Welch's long article at Zynot.org on reasons for forking the Gentoo distribution.

To be executed properly, it would need to be knifed, not forked.

a group of disgrunted Zynot users decided to
fork Zynot to Yznge platform. The users welcomed
this fork as it closes us to the ultimate
Wholy Grail of the Linux movement known as
"Linux distribution for everybody" meaning that
each person will have his/her own Linux distro.
Linux made another important step on the way
to the total world domination

I have an even better idea, how about nobody waste any time on anything, instead everyone uses M$ Windows and IE? I mean, wheather Microsoft sucks or not is just an opinion, not a science, right?
By the way, Mozilla has considerably less chance rendering a page wrong, compared to KHTML. If any thing is a waste of time, KHTML is. But of course, Apple chose to use it, so it must be a better thing.

Yeah, I see similar failures all the time.
I go to the book store and there's hundreds of books. Different plots and different stories and different covers. Wouldn't it be better if there was just One Book!
I go to the movie theatre and there's a new movie every week! Different plots and different actors and different meanings. Wouldn't it be better if there was just One Movie!
Choice is a failure! I can't wait until we all wear the same drab clothes and live in the same box-like houses doing the same boring things and living the same unoriginal lives.
