If I understand "man emerge", --newuse tells me if an installed package has a USE flag that was added, removed, turned on, or turned off; whereas --changed-use only notifies me if a USE flag that I've chosen on my installed packages are changed -- not any other USE flags the maintainer, or some other committer, has changed (those have bitten me in the past). Since I'm not really interested in reading the ChangeLog for *hundreds* of packages, N (--newuse) suits me better. Those flags have special colors and one or more of - * % () symbols so a quick glance lets me know *which* pkgs the dev has changed, and *which* pkgs ChangeLog I might want to read. -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ support@happypenguincomputers.com 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ Don't top-post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post#Top-posting
