I can't agree more with this sentiment. For the times when I'm not wants to configure things as much as gentoo (say, my x86 chroot) I use deb or a deb variant. Also, as others have said, there's nothing really wrong with letting your gentoo install go stale. Once you have a system set up and tweaked to where you want it, just don't touch it. I'll probably do just that for my media center box. Gentoo is about choice: it has no problems letting choose to shoot yourself in the foot (or face); it even gives you the metal ore, powder chemicals, metal-working and chemistry tools. ;) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
