|
|
Gentoo is said to be a meta distribution. Today it supports Linux and FreeBSD. Will there ever be support for other operating systems like Minix or Windows?
Personally I would really like to install open source program in Windows via emerge instead of via risky binary installs. |

Irre,
Well there was, very briefly, GeNToo - Gentoo on the NT kernel
More seriously, there is Gentoo on cygwin _________________ Regards,
