23 Thanks for the clarification on both points. And here, I like the
24 Discworld books quite a lot (just finished "Going Postal" a few weeks
25 ago in fact), and I didn't realize that jeeves was disappearing.
26 Perhaps the rest of our isolated sparc community didn't either, or
27 perhaps I'm the last to find these things out again. I'll give sparc a
28 little time to express themselves, but I'm pretty sure we'll be adding
29 #gentoo-sparc
30 to the Willikins list.
