Most people trying Gentoo already had some history with other Linux |
| 24 |
distros. So, I'm sure they will recognize the cups USE flag when they |
| 25 |
see it. Most everyone I know also have a printer (some with a pile of |
| 26 |
dust on it) so I think most of people will enable that USE flag anyway. |
