Maybe the reason that Gentoo is gaining so quickly in popularity is that is
IS geared toward the "power user" and so many of us who have migrated from
dependancy hell want to learn.
I've been running Linux on at least one machine since SUSE 6.0 and have
learned infinately more about it in the month I've been using Gentoo than in
the 3+ years with SUSE, Mandrake,RedHat & Elx.
No, I'm not a "power user", far from it but, though I don't think that that
is my ultimate goal, I want to learn as much as I can. Snotty, superior
elitists like yourself are an annoyance and turn off a lot of people who
otherwise might become Linux users. Comments such as the above are not only
inconsiderate, but they harm the reputation of the whole community.
I, for one, am going to continue to ask, sometimes stupid questions in my
quest to learn and not be embarrassed by self absorbed individuals.
Thanks to all of the list for their help in getting my 2 Gentoo boxes up and
running. I have some googling to do now. I've come to the realization that I
don't have a good grasp on /proc. If I have questions once I've done some
research, I'll be back with them, and I'll be damned if I'll be embarrassed.
