Well, if you completely agreed with him you wouldn't be running Gentoo (or Debian, or other general-purpose distros). He advocates that ordinary users should use more purpose-driven distros, where all of this stuff is less of an issue. He does make a valid point - I'd never argue that a linux noob should start with Gentoo. However, obviously I think Gentoo has its place, and the world would be poorer without it. Rich
