That's a shame ... one of the attractions I had to gentoo was it seemed to |
| 20 |
stay fairly current. Debian is nice and all, but it's a _royal_ pain in the |
| 21 |
rear when you want to start using some current software because of features. |

What good is a great package management scheme when you end up compiling most |
| 24 |
of the software you routinely use anyway. |
