Gentoo is a free operating system based on either Linux or FreeBSD that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about any application or need. Extreme configurability, performance and a top-notch user and developer community are all hallmarks of the Gentoo experience."</p>

Of course Gentoo is Linux based, but no duh. I said the basis of the chart is far off to say it is "How much GNU is in GNU/LINUX" as Linux is barely Ubuntu at all. How silly that a guy who's whole life has been into hardware, software, and linux. Seeing as I have dual Xeon X5690s at 4.8GHz with quad-580s running at 1200core with 64 gigs of ram for each CPU, I must be mistaken.<div>

The basis of that chart is so far off. I can have a full running Gentoo system with none of that stuff, and Arch can get fairly close. Gentoo=Slackware but newer and better.<div><div></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Perhaps not much based on lines of code, but try to remove it. It would be easier to remove the kernel and end up with a recognisable system than to remove t the gnu tools.<br><font color="#888888">
