[gentoo-user] Re: Must all software be installed with Ebuilds?

[Michael Swanson]

I'm setting up a home webserver on Gentoo Linux and was wondering about 
the above question.  I've read on here many places about people writing 
their own ebuilds to install software.  One of the pieces of software I 
run is Communigate Email, which is commercial software and gets 
installed by a script, not by compiling source code.  Is this a problem 
for Gentoo?  Or is this particular software outside the knowledge of 
Portage, and as such, not checked for dependencies and such?  Thanks for 
any help you can give me.

On a totally unrelated question, when I use Firefox in Xfce, I can't us 
Ctrl+F4 to close a tab.  Does anyone know how I can avoid that?  Thanks.
