Though Gentoo was my first distro to begin with, the devel stuff in Debian/Ubuntu is also a big nuisance for me, because you have to =E2=80=9Cs= pam=E2=80=9D the equivalent of your world file with numerous dev packages or libs if you wan= t to install some application from source (like I once tried with Amarok in Debi= an Squeeze). On the other hand one could of course argue that Gentoo is wasting a lot of space because it is always installing all dev files, like /usr/include, /lib/**/*.a and stuff. But that=E2=80=99s something else. :) --=20 Gru=C3=9F | Greetings | Qapla' I forbid any use of my email addresses with Facebook services.
