<rant> Just a minor one. My least favorite feature of gnu - linux - gcc - glibc - or pick-a-package is that everything seems to be re-architected at almost every release. Nothing seems ever to be compatible from release to release. I'm a little bit isolated from this on gentoo, because the source package prereqs the appropriate version and any prereqs get installed first. Nevertheless, this is not a really good feature (tm). </rant> -- Collins Richey - Denver Area Athlon-XP gentoo 1.4_rc2 kde 3.1 _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
