I didn't miss the USE flags. I found them hard to use. What I really wanted (and I incorporated into my package manager) was being asked what "features" I want in my packages. That's what I like about Open Source. I want to be in control. And, if I don't like the available offerings, I am free to do my own. Besides, I benchmarked my system against Gentoo and I came out ahead. :-) -- Alberto Treviño [EMAIL PROTECTED] Testing Center Brigham Young University -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
