Hello Meino, It's a bit of effort, but the world's recognized authority on algorithms is Don Knuth. [1] He's old now, but his pioneering attempt at categorizing most algorithms: "The art of computer programming" and his MMIX alogrithm implementations (kinda like assembler) are certainly part of many first-step research efforts on algorithms and their implementations. It's not a cookbook; more of a scholarly (high_brow) reference, just to supplement all the good postings by your peers on gentoo user. Alan may loan you his copy? (ha ha ha)? hth, James [1] http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/
