Hell, I've still got one of my PCs running Gentoo 1.2 and it does everything I need of it, so I'm not in a rush to upgrade. I suppose I'm lucky as I have a nice big pipe out to the internet at home and a meaty machine as my main workstation so compiles are not too much of a hassle. But at the end of the day I assume you choose Gentoo because of its many good points, and being sourced based is one of the main ones IMHO. Pls, can we knock this one on the head and instead look at helping out on the GRP effort. Ta much, Jon __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
