That implies the reader stops working with Linux, which is not the most likely case. And the whole idea of this document seem to be a special-audience text, at the expense of having a single documentation like the guide. Remember this is documentation, so redundancy for the sake of understandability is acceptable. I agree that my name suggestions where quite lame, though. Please don't use them. :) -- Florian Ebeling Twitter: febeling florian.ebel...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
