And how much they got paid to write it. Perhaps I'll take this oppertunity to say: Thanks, to everyone who helped make gentoo what it is today. You do a fabulous job. This is the best distro on the planet ; ) Present company excluded, I begin to feel resentful towards people that complain but offer nothing to help. I _don't_ want to offend anyone reading -- this mostly happens on the forums -- but c'mon people, if you know whats wrong, why not help out the devs instead of mocking them? This is supposed to be a self-supporting community, remember? At any rate, I just installed X last weekend and had no big problems. It may not work for everybody 100% of the time, but it works for me 99.9% of the time, and the .1% is almost always my own fault. Remember how many people are collaborating on this project, and think of how difficult testing must be when there are literally thousands and thousands of hardware and software configurations. If something's broken, why not help them fix? They'd probably really appreciate it -- and i _know_ i would. Thanks again, to the gentoo team and the community here. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
