This is one of the things I don't understand about gentoo. The About page= says=20 gentoo is aimed at power users, the installation process reflects just th= at=20 and then they choose nano because it's easier for newbies and make the=20 mailinglists non-subscribe-only because it's better for newbies? Sorry bu= t=20 somehow I think they should really think about this, are we newbie friend= ly=20 or not? Even if the answer is yes, everyone that managed to get anywhere near whe= re=20 they have to use nano to edit something will also manage to subscribe to = a=20 maillinglist!
