most of the "oh it's so weird"-whining often comes from just not being

But if someone else snuck into your house and flipped your locks every

This one change won't be catastrophic, but I will probably spend a good
eight hours researching, testing, implementing, and documenting it. In
the end, *if everything goes according to plan*, stuff will work exactly
how it does now.
If Grub were the only package to do this -- fine, whatever. But next
week it will be something else. I don't know what my point is, but it
feels good to bitch about it.
This is how I feel about the initramfs thingy and /usr and /var. What
is next? I am pretty sure it will be something tho.
I share your pain. :-(
I'm not sure if this a sign of me getting (even) older, or Linux maturing and
in doing so it caters less and less for Gentoo geeky users and more and more
for mainstream ignoramuses. :p
I was thinking more like windoze really. If windoze starts having mount
points like Linux, things could start changing. ^_^ Think about it,
windoze currently has to have its stuff on the C drive and Linux can be
spread out over many drives and you can mount things wherever you want.
Linux is going the way of windoze then windoze would be going the way of
Linux. Weird huh?
