Yeah I agree, there is to little information, even debian's "apt-cache search" get better information about packages then the "emerge --search" The thing about apt-cache is that it also search through the information and not just the package name. With a GUI interface there would also be easy to see what version of a package in the tree. (even if its masked) > I've seen things like Red Carpet en Yast on the desktops of friends and > collegues.
