You also have to be careful with this blocker, never unmerge python or
you are lost as portage does not work without python. You have to do

Dear Gentoo Community,
I was wondering if anyone knew how (whether) it is possible to set
temporary options to grub.
I am on a dual-boot setup with Gentoo Linux being the first choice in
grub's config file. When I perform a restart, most of the times it is
in order to subsequently boot Windows.

I'm trying to print from my remote server to my local printer. It's
working great via CUPS, but I've been warned that this is not a good
