  • Gentoo: It Covers the Globe

    Gentoo covers the fucking globe!

    Check out the list of Gentoo mirrors:

    <https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/mirrors/>

    Indeed! Knowledgeable and sophisticated people all over
    the world will crave Gentoo -- and Gentoo delivers.

    Brother, if you ain't using Gentoo then you must have
    inherited way too many Neanderthal genes.

    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

    Now, like a good doggy, get ready to roll over, sit up,
    and beg when the next Ubuntu surprise comes along.

    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

    With such a professional recommendation, who could resist?

    Check out the list of Gentoo mirrors:

    <https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/mirrors/>

    Any distribution of any measure has mirrors all over the world.

    Gentoo does, and so does Linux Mint.

    BTW, we mirror Mint.

    We don't mirror Gentoo.

    That's 'cause you are an ignoramus, retarded asshole.

    The case is closed.
