If you are really interested in using GIT with gentoo, then read up on overlays and layman layman -L shows experimental and code_hacks in progress. GIT among other code management systems are used. Git is the most common. NEVER, use an overlay to replace a gentoo stable package, only to install something additional or non-critical! (you've been warned!). And I am surprised to hear that Gentoo is so strict to follow upstream. I guess it makes it the most vanilla flavored, And I really like it ! Are you kidding? Really? Who the hell is going to even touch, yet alone maintain some of the advanced mathematics libraries we all enjoy on Gentoo? Many are difficult as hell to get stable on gentoo and use in other (science) projects; just as one example. We stand tall, here at gentoo, because we have the collective wisdom to use the work provided by the larger community of hackers, coders, students and yes burnt_out_too_often_abused_admins who often appear to have bad attitudes.. (hi Alan!) Here's but one example, you should take on to manage, upgrade and enhance in your spare time? http://www.dune-project.org/ Here is another one (you do like video on your workstation?: media-video/ffmpeg Sorry for being blunt, but you just do not realize just how rediculous this line of reasoning/questioning is? hth, James

Well, honestly I don't blame myself! I am new to the Linux (FOSS) world and I don't know very much about it. After some distro hopping I decided to switch to gentoo because I learnt that easy necessarily doesn't mean simple and I liked the way gentoo is making an operating system. However I think it takes a long time for me to familiarize myself to this world, so I guess more of this rediculous statement will be on the way! And my apologies in advance! Thanks and have a nice time.
