I just wanted to say that this is exactly the situation i'm in. I've applied to the x86 arch tester team because i enjoy working on Gentoo, but don't have a lot of time to do it in. Work carts me about 100 miles from an internet connection every Monday and drops me back off in civilization every Friday. Knock off another half-day spent trying to catch up on humongoloid GLEP threads and I don't have a bunch of free time left. ;] Arch testing is one way I can contribute without the overhead, and I don't fancy becoming a developer any time soon. --de. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
