I don't think we have a motto or any type of marketing phrase. But we do have Larry the cow and it's Poster !

"It might take an eternity for OpenOffice to compile with massive madman-optimizations, but afterwards you'll have a system rivaling Windows itself in instability."

What do you want to merge today?

I've given some thought to this as well, but nothing good has come to mind...

1) Gentoo - Emergent Intelligence
2) Gentoo - Emergent OS
3) Gentoo - Gluttonous Entity of Nightmarish Talents and Open Organization

While we're on the topic of names, would "Gentoo-easy" be a crappy name for an installation aide program?

"Gentoo: USE the source."

"Gentoo: Shouldn't you be compiling something?"

Gentoo: It's what the cows use!
Gentoo: emerge your life!
Gentoo: Destroying windows one computer at a time.
Gentoo: Making your floppy not quite as floppy.
Gentoo: That text is still scrolling...
Gentoo: Install it on your girlfriend, seriously...

Only you can prevent ducks, get yourself a cute little gentoo.

Windows: Witness the amazing power of self-breaking windows.

Really, Larry the cow is all gentoo needs. All we need is Larry the Cow plush-toy USB keyrings and the world would soon follow.
