I was hoping this would be a first contact to linux to many users (since it's the only OS installable on the ps3), while I appreciate the gentoo handbook approach a lot, until crossdev is working better it's just too hard for them wouldn't you agree?<br><br><br>nelson<br /><hr />Obtenha 30 Emoticons grĂ¡tis para o seu Windows Live Messenger <a href='http://get.live.com' target='_new'>Clica aqui!</a></body>
