In my younger days, back in the late 60's I spent a summer traveling by
canoe in Quebec. Now, carrying a canoe past falls, obstructions or
impassable rapids is called "portage" the pronunciation put the accent
on the second syllable which was pronounced like Taj Mahal.
It really doesn't matter to me how Gentoo pronounces it. What DOES
matter is that it just plain works! better and less painful than
apt-get and far less frustrating than RPM
Some body ask Daniel to record a little sound sample similar to the one
sndconfig uses to test sound setup. Linus might get jealous but what
the heck.....
