[edit] Gentoo

I went to #gentoo and asked them how you could deal with non-free packages in Gentoo. I was surprised to learn that Gentoo includes some non-free packages which aren't available in source form, and therefore that Gentoo isn't self-hosting. I'm removing it from the page unless someone can rectify.--Chealer 00:32, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)

Aren't the non-free ones also non-core/non-essential? If so, then Gentoo could certainly be added to the list. --TheParanoidOne 23:39, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
