This is one of the things I don't understand about gentoo. The About page says |
| 8 |
gentoo is aimed at power users, the installation process reflects just that |
| 9 |
and then they choose nano because it's easier for newbies and make the |
| 10 |
mailinglists non-subscribe-only because it's better for newbies? Sorry but |
| 11 |
somehow I think they should really think about this, are we newbie friendly |
| 12 |
or not? |

Even if the answer is yes, everyone that managed to get anywhere near where |
| 15 |
they have to use nano to edit something will also manage to subscribe to a |
| 16 |
maillinglist! |
