What I miss in Gentoo is the simple format for services like found in Redhat and many others, ie: service servicename stop/start/restart It eliminates needing to know where the service directory is or including it every time. service httpd stop is a lot easier than any other incarnation and make any system easier to admin. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
