    As a Crux user, I feel I must step in and defend this.

    Why can't we have a release without someone piping in with how Crux is inferior because it doesn't have something like portage or apt?

    Crux isn't for everyone. Besides, it does have ports+prt-get.

    For me, I feel that effort would be better spent on something like Debian, rather than yet another distro... especially for something like PPC.

    If the goal is to provide a free software drop-in replacement for OS X, then as a community we should concentrate our efforts on one distro...

    I'll plead ignorance when it comes to Gentoo, but I don't like the idea of a lot of compiling - I'm sure there are ways to not have to compile everything, but then I think 'Why bother, when there is Debian'

    I'm not a Debian developer, but I like how apt works. It works consistently well, and is considerably better than something like Software Update or Windows Update.

    It's always cool to see people doing new stuff however, and the Crux people should be congratulated for this.
