Till very recently, I too misunderstood the meaning of the term. I |
| 13 |
think one problem is that the term really hasn't been defined anywhere |
| 14 |
(at least I couldn't find a proper definition on [1]). |

I really do like the herds terminology because it is unique and has |
| 17 |
become a Gentoo-ism of sorts. It also is reminiscent of Larry, in some |
| 18 |
sense (herds -> grazing -> moo -> cow -> larry). :) |
