Well, sort of. I've found it doesn't have a real intelligent search as I've put in xx and yy or gentoo yyy and it tries to match it all. Granted there are archives but most mail lists have their own and you don't have to google for them. From what I understand Gentoo changed mail list prog

Well, to be honest, forum groups don't count . Many of us hate the forum format and don't want to spend eons finding the topic, then checking all the articles in the slow, poorly organized structure that all forum groups have! As I understand it at one time they had archives but changed mail l

I too am rather new to Gentoo. Overall, it seems to work. kde-pim is part of kdebase, and when I emerged kde it was installed. I have not played with the zillions of USE variables. When looking at the ecuild for kde-pim, it seems to only make reference to pim as a USE variable. Maybe kpilot is in a

Yeah, I checked the discussion groups and didn't find anything interesting. I really prefer mailing lists anyway. KPilot should be part of kde-pim, but I can't emerge kde-pim either. emerge doesn't find it. That makes no sense, however, since KOrganizer (also part of kde-pim) is installed.

Do you do this in the various discussion groups in the Gentoo site? The discussion groups are searchable. There seem to be entries from the dawn of Gentoo time. I find the choice of groups a bit odd, but if you post to the wrong one, the moderator will bump you to the right one, maybe with a slap.

The worst is it's their own fault. If there's a web archive of their list I haven't found it. It is at very least badly hidden, if not nonexistent. I couldn't do due diligence on my questions being dupes if I wanted to. I'm getting ready to bug them about how the heck I get KPilot installed

This does happen on Gentoo. Sometimes harshly. Also, the various discussion moderators are often rather blunt about complaining when people don't see that their post is a duplicate question. I was a bit cautious at first when asking a question. It is not like one would have prior experience with th

Traffic on gentoo-user last night reminded me of the good (or bad) old days on the caldera-users or early linux-users era. One of the low lifes was complaining that newbies were actually allowed on his "power users'" group. Remember the good old days (definitely not tm) when unsuspecting newbies
