Even if this is supposed to be funny (I can't tell, so I think you may have failed if so), I'd like to correct you and say that what makes Gentoo tick doesn't hinge on GNU at all. We can run on different kernels, different libcs, and coreutils are just a package you install. Might be toybox for all Gentoo cares!
As far as I'm concerned, Gentoo is the most underappreciated distro. I'm a Gentoo dev, but that's not why I'm saying so -- the causal relation is reversed!
He's just adapted this copypasta, replacing "Linux" with "Gentoo":
Amazing how many people took the bait (myself included). Thanks for the link!
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Gentoo”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Gentoo, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Gentoo is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Gentoo is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Gentoo added, or GNU/Gentoo. All the so-called “Gentoo” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Gentoo.
