32 Just to add two cents worth. I rarely, very rarely, go to the
33 "unofficial" Gentoo wiki. To put it simply, its not supported by the
34 Gentoo organization itself. When it comes to my system, I want people
35 that I know use Gentoo and understand how it works or that the info is
36 from the official Gentoo Docs.
37
38 I may be able to contribute to the official Gentoo wiki when the need
39 arises but I doubt I would ever do that on the current unofficial wiki.

41 Just my two cents worth for the day. Back to my hole.
