It's sort of funny in a way.  I hardly ever go to the Gentoo website.  I
follow this list and -dev and learn that way.  I sync usually each
Friday or Saturday and usually by the time I get the packages downloaded
over my slow dial-up, if there are any problems with something it will
be on the list by then.  I do on occasion search the forums.  I'm going
through the qt blockages now but I still have a lot to download yet. 
That qt-core package is huge.  Almost like OOo.  Then there are the
brothers, sisters and children of that thing to go with it. 

I need broadband something awful.  I don't think sticking a stick of
dynamite under AT&T would do any good at all either
