Great!  Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh (on rereading what I wrote it
sounded like I was angry).  My favorite part of Gentoo is its ability to
keep the system lean and clean with the whole portage system (like
FreeBSD's ports tree)  I start to get frustrated when it becomes
difficult to manage this and you start needing to edit the ebuilds by
hand!
