Maybe I'm getting a little conservative in my old age, but I'm not |
| 11 |
concerned about being on the bleeding edge anymore, having been cut on |
| 12 |
it too many times in the past. Perl v5.8.8 does what I need it to - |
| 13 |
chew on data. Python v2.5.2 does what I need it to - it runs Portage |
| 14 |
and is perfectly fine to teach myself the language with. The 2.6.28.7 |
| 15 |
kernel does what I need it to - not freeze when I try to shut my laptop |
| 16 |
down (okay, that's a quibble about v2.6.29 and not Gentoo). |

I guess what I'm trying to say is that being a minor release or two |
| 19 |
behind the times is fine with me because I can still do everything I |
| 20 |
need to do every day. |
