It seems the portage build system is "smarter" now, and takes care of more things for you. Then there are the useful tools such as revdep-rebuild and eix. And openrc is just wonderful (thanks Roy!) The only problem with Gentoo is the constant, rolling updates you simply MUST do from time to time. And if you have several Gentoo systems, well, it starts to become a little burdensome... Each Gentoo system is unique in the world. -- Keith Dart -- -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Keith Dart public key: ID: 19017044 =====================================================================
