Well said spider, I have learnt more about linux by installing, reading the docs and using gentoo than I ever did with the other distributions. We need to keep the overhead for the official gentoo team to a minimum, the bigest help we could make is to only post relevent questions after reading the docs and checking the bug site. regards Paul ********** This message has been sent using GENTOO Linux and kmail ********* -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
