LOL, I would like to know "Marian" in person and his habbits of upgrading |
44 |
OOcalc. |
45 |
I wonder how he edit his /etc/make.conf, hehe, with windows edit?! :-P |
46 |
Seriously, Gentoo is a system for "Marian" if and only if his friend |
47 |
"SuperUser" keep his system running. |
48 |
And by the same token, go to your next desk friend who is a computer |
49 |
scientist and ask him to install gentoo. (GENGOO WHAT???!!! SOUNDS LIKE A |
50 |
GOOD BUNGEE CORD ;-) |
51 |
Gentoo is for us, not for them... |

Devs should include patches in mainstream even if it's less prior patch. |
