Hmmm ... Debian's tree is (roughly) twice as big, and their hierarchy is |
| 11 |
also single-level (sections, they call them). Both Debian's and Gentoo's |
| 12 |
are unusable without searching. In fact, Gentoo's is unusable without |

"esearch"; that along with "ufed" ought to be in "stage3", don't you |

think? |
