snark :-)
A couple of things to remember:
Gentoo IS a pita to install and run compared to most other distros -
I've had a brand new laptop lying around for 6 months which has been an
absolute pain and is still not working ...
RTFM is NOT an acceptable answer - half the time the documentation is
worse than the program, the other half of the time you can't find it and
the stuff on the web is out-or-date, irrelevant, or some other rabbit
hole ...
IBM used to have a "black team", apparently. Anybody who was just plain
useless at their job, or could never get things to work, or just took
pleasure in breaking things, was put on this team. Telling developers
their work was being handed over to this lot for testing was considered
pure torture. I guess Alan belongs on that team - at least if the devs
are reading it helps gentoo get more robust :-)
