My > question: When do you expect Gentoo to become a final usable release? It is very normal that you frequently see problems arise on the mailinglist but rarely successtories. This is because of human nature: we will swiftly ask/seek for help (and the Gentoo Mailinglists are a good place to ask for help) but rarely just mail to tell it works... Think of it: if you emerge 10 tools, and 9 of them work flawlessly, you won't mail the mailinglist about those 9 tools do you? No, you're going to mail about the 10th tool that doesn't work. So your perception doesn't mean that Gentoo isn't usuable. Wkr, Sven Vermeulen PS Don't start posting messages like "net-www/apache works" "net-ftp/ncftp works" "app-office/openoffice works" "app-sci/octave works" "x11-wm/fluxbox works" ... "x11-base/xfree works" :-) --11Y7aswkeuHtSBEs Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+BJ3QXfqz7M26L9sRAuiQAJ46yjsj1ec28EGyd6NkjSF8Sa20cwCgier2 hVDczYUM4Zj6BzedCacbpQE= =4HcD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --11Y7aswkeuHtSBEs--
