I just wanted to add something to the original post.
I've recently began experimenting with Debian and noticed their updating
system is exactly like what I was asking about. Basically, there's package
updates, and then there's distro updates. Why is it unreasonable for Gentoo
to have something
not be a complicated one, or it would defeat the
purpose altogether.

This causes us users to modify whatever we're running to suit all these

As far as I know, Gentoo releases a Reference Platform twice a year. So,

Yeah, the documentation is one of the many great things about Gentoo. I
just wish the software was a little more proactive in fixing update
problems.

Are you sure that it was a Pentium M and not a Pentium4-M or just the
p4s? There is a signicant difference. With all the benchmarks I've
seen, the Pentium Ms beat all the other processors in terms of power
consumption and heat and in a lot of cases, performance. it even
outdoes the P4s and

I'm having a problem with dvdrip. I emerged it and when I try to run it
it just says:

indefinitely until I kill it. It doesn't give a gui or

I can use to rip dvds and redo them to remove the stupid region codes?
Thanks for the help!

Then maybe it's a bug in the ebuild (either DVDrip or transcode).
