"Because Gentoo is about choice we do *not* focus on a single software stack
but rather provide the user with alternatives to choose from" is what I like

I'll be very happy to switch from illume to matchbox every time I need :)

Ok! I'll search for updated instructions somewhere, building everything is
fascinating, but please provide a stage3 :)
