Point is, most people I've seen in here know a lot more than most[1], and are generally intelligent enough to overcome any limitation that isn't fundamentally philosophical in origin (see mdev vs udev, ALSA vs OSS4 vs PulseAudio, lvm vs mdraid vs physical raid vs btrfs vs zfs). So don't sell yourself too short, and don't blindly trust the opinions and decisions of others; they're not always as right as assume them to be, and managing to get Gentoo working suggests you have some right to point out when the emperor's not wearing any clothes. [1] I like to surround myself with people smarter or more knowledgeable than I am about things, and I hit the motherload in this list... -- :wq
