Indeed. Ciaran himself is a user, now, tho a dev for other projects. Of course, I'm a user too. Both of us care (tho I'm sure he cares more than I do) about virtual and need to see it, But I think less technical user (even "luser" in some cases) is how he tends to use the word. The are certainly there, but that has never really been Gentoo's focus, and we don't expect users to need their hands held. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
