It is either a part of the *official* gentoo documentation, or it isn't. My understanding is that it is. Is that incorrect? In other words, it is not $random_guide found on the internet somewhere, nor is it some gentoo dev's private wiki, it is formal, official gentoo documentation - and that *is* a fact. If what you say is true, then I guess every single page of every single bit of gentoo documentation should come with a big fat warning that 'this is just someone's personal opinion, so don't give it any weight whatsoever - hey, just do your own thang!'... -- Charles
