Yes, maybe > it requires too much knowledge So which is it? "All that is required" or "too much?" Also, what exactly do you refer to by "Gentoo?" The distribution or the foundation? I've been managing my own overlay and a few private ones for a few years now, all while using catalyst to build more or less customized Linux systems for me and for others. I dive into bugzilla when a bug bites, and I'll usually generate a patch. Am I actually developing for Gentoo Linux already? //Peter
