Definately. The thing to show would be emerge and qpkg. Emerge rsync is a bit time-consuming, so I guess that won't work. But you can merge and unmerge a package, merge a specific (older) version, merge -u, etc. Of course, showing a full Gnome and/or KDE tells people that Gentoo is not a tiny console based distro, but the real thing. > What do you like best on Gentoo? What would you tell/show them? 1. Gentoo gives the power of LFS, but with a lot less hassle. Do an LFS once in your life, for educational purposes, and then switch to Gentoo to keep your sanity. 2. Gentoo has a great community. You could show your audience the Gentoo website, the mailing lists and the forums. Gwendolyn. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
