I have installed Gentoo Linux on a Thinkpad T42 and an earlier version Acer Laptop. But it has been years, installation on one laptop after another. I even planned to go further to install Funtoo Linux, which is written by the original Gentoo founder. If I'm not wrong, I remembered in Gentoo website, it says this particular distro is a special flavor. Indeed, it is. Highly customizable and tedious installation process. My last few installaion took me 1 ~ 3 days to complete the OS compilation. After each installation, I have not taken time off to learn this OS. So many things have forgotten, even its trends and new linux distro, Ubuntu, Arch, Puppy, &cNow, I have another set of Thinkpad X-series  (x86) for a fresh installation of Linux OS. I want to ask based on today's trend for mobility, such as android, is Gentoo development catching up with today's popularity, if not what would be equivalent to Gentoo?Looking at Linux Distro from Wikipedia, the timeline based on initial release over 10 years are Slackware, Debian, FreeBSD, Gentoo. But the Gentoo hasn't been growing in its popularity since then. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distributionThe equivalent closest to Gentoo I have seen in Wiki page is Chromium OS, designed by Google that primarily runs web applications, using Gentoo  as its foundation. - WikiHowever, though, nothing seem to have mentioned in particularly about Gentoo OS in Chromium Website. The relatable term I can see is Portage, which is Gentoo's Package Manager. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_OSMy next question is could Chromium OS be the future Gentoo-alike OS based on future key trend of mobility?
Gentoo Linux Still Popular Today?
