>It'll put hair on your chest! That is true, but it will make sure that hair you get is gray by the time you get it. No offense to the developers of Portage who hae done an excellent job, but the portage code is pretty much as unreadable as code can get. I was working on a few patches until I realised the only way to understand it would be line by line debugging. Once understood though, it is an excellent piece of code. --Daniel Armyr Non-developer
