Not Emergency - please! It sounds as if it's always gonna crash and you need |

to call emergensy service. I've got another proposal: Gremlin? It has G - for |

gentoo. In the end of the day we have "Konqui the dragon" for KDE, Demon, for |

BSD. Why not Gremlin for gentoo? |

Probably we should go other way round? First integrate what is already done |
16 |
and then add new things. This way we'll make sure we're not just gonna add |
17 |
one more tool, but really integrate existing ones. |

I feel that package management has to be in such tool, though not nesesarily |
24 |
in first versions. |
