Why does it take hours to type "emerge world -uavD", review the results and press Enter? Gentoo is a prime example of why the command line can be more efficient than a GUI. But then, I used to use urpmi with Mandrake rather than the "simpler" rpmdrake (will that be rpmdriva now?). There are plenty of distros that offer GUI configuration and installation options. What would be the point of Gentoo trying to copy them? If someone wants to write a, for example, XOrg config tool, it would be useful to all Linux users, this is not something that needs to be Gentoo-specific. -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 35: Legally drunk
