Hi,
I am probably going to be top on the bsd camp's 'most hated list' after
this, but here goes ...
The more I think on Gentoo/, the more I tend to
get this picture of a little boy that wants to play with the older boys,
but are constantly in tears, as the older boys runs too fast for him, or

platforms exists whether you like it or not. The key being the

Well it would be nice to have it all abstracted, wouldn't stablizing a
package get exponetially harder? Not only would each arch need to be
