Hi,

ok, coaranm aside - hav= e you EVER seen a dev recommending love- or
nitro-sources?

I have not! Never! Never ever!

There seems= to be a reason that a) no dev has recommended them so far and b)
they a= re not in portage.

And puulease.. nitro is nothing more than
ck+bootsplash+someotherunneededstuff.

If you want the 'latency enhan= cement' of nitro, go directly to ck - Con
Kolivas knows what he does.--
