Yeah, pity it doesn't work: emerge: Command not found. > You should at least consider coming along to the upcoming Gentoo installFest > to discover what you are missing out on. No, thanks, no need to, I have a pretty clear idea about gentoo. And since you started the argument, your showing-off of the system yesterday was hardly complimentory: your flpsed wasn't uptodate - what a laugh from someone who braggs about his emerge-solves-all-problems-this-second all the time!!! Besides, you may think bleeding edge is the hottest thing since sliced bread, I'm unconvinced that bleeding is all that desirable. Fine if gentoo has some advantages, if it suits you I don't actually care. Chances are, it's substandard in other respects. :) However, instead of embarking on yet another distro fight (grow up Chris), you distracted from the issue I pointed out. We've had this discussion about your crappy (to call a spade a spade) postscript, or in this case, pdf, files before. Expecting everyone else to upgrade their systems just to keep up with the bleeding geeks is, uhhhm, less than smart. > While SuSe is by far the best of the .rpm distributions as far as I can see, > it's being now being touted for the American corporate desktop, Argue a convincing case that "the American" desktop is different than "the European" or "the Kiwi" desktop, and why I don't want it. SuSE has put tremendous effort into making a distribution which Joe Bloggs has a chance of using, and which is presentable in a somewhat more corporate environment. (The latter is where all of us are wishing to see Linux established!) I don't see your gentoo having contributed anything whatsoever in these two important areas. Amused, Volker PS That was my fun-email for the day, perhaps we should continue over a glass of $BEVERAGE off-list, lest we risk boring everyone else to death.
