Gentoo philosophy says *nothing* about simplicity, it talks only about customisation. any idea of if KISS is present in Gentoo design ? NOTE: i have observed one thing. i have used Gentoo for 2 days only and now i am trying to use Arch and CRUX but i see, for me, it is very difficult to use and work with them them since i am getting used to a lower level of things. happened with anybody ? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
