Too funny! :)
Of course, the good thing about this system is that once I've finished
the do-it-myself part (setup), maintaining and upgrading is fairly
painless. (Aside from the occasional mind-boggling mystery, such as
"Where in the World is index.sgml?" ;) After a few more weeks of
therapy, my psychologist tells me, I should be able to deal with the
complete lack of cute little wizards.
DIY isn't that bad -- for instance making an ebuild for a program that
doesn't already have one is easier than making an RPM in the same
situation!
