Bad press In general should just about do it. If in doubt, /. it first.

Gentoo is like a cult ... it can't easily be killed.

"Every generation has a mythology. Every millenium has a doomsday cult.
Every legend gets the distortion knob wound up until the speaker melts.
Archeologists at the University of Helsinki today uncovered what could
be the earliest known writings from the Cult of Tux, a fanatical
religious sect that flourished during the early Silicon Age, around the
dawn of the third millenium AD..." Gospel of Tux, Verse I
