Whatever else it may be (and it definitely has it's strong points), Gentoo is certainly a continuing learning experience! It's neat to see how these things work, and even neater in contrast with the UNFREE World of software in which I was up to a couple years ago. It STILL amazes me how all this not only code but development is conducted out in the open where just anyone can examine and learn from it, hopefully eventually contributing themselves. Going back now is as unthinkable as asking the defector whether he'd go back, until the old rule falls, anyway. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
