Hello,
In /usr/portage/sci-chemistry, there are lots of software offerings. My son is new to Gentoo but now I let him go root and install packages. Does Gentoo maintain an online index with brief description of each so one can make a guess as to which packages might be useful to him? Is there some slick way to install all of the packages in this dir? (drawing a blank --most-likely-TGIF-syndrome) and then go down a list (index) and test which ones he would want to keep? suggestions are most welcome. I'm looking for suggestions better than: eix <package> one at a time.... James
