I'm really thinking of doing a rewrite (first only for research) that also |
| 8 |
takes the GLEP into account, that is, using client/server architecture, so, |
| 9 |
that emerge would just be yet another front-end (the standard one of course). |
| 10 |
As I dislike python (sorry), too, I'd of course use a programming language |
| 11 |
that generates native code and supports high level programming features like |
| 12 |
C++ :) |

I hate nano that much, that there's only one thing left I hate more than |
| 22 |
nano, however, the first thing I do on installing a system is a slick vim |
| 23 |
to edit the configs. but I must agree, nano may be the easiest for AT |
| 24 |
LEAST windows users that wanna try out linux *and* do not know |
| 25 |
about typical unix/linux editors. |

modutils/module-init-tools SHALL remain in system since it is fairly |
| 33 |
COMMON on to many systems. I see no reason to talk about removing it. |

yeah, obviousely all but mine, however, I really really hate slocate even |
| 46 |
more than nano. slocate was right the second thing in |
| 47 |
my /etc/portage/package.mask |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
FINALLY, I don't see any reason for keeping any dhcp client in system. |
| 50 |
Those users who needs it, may of course emerge it. Those who like |
| 51 |
iproute2 have to emerge it themself, too, so, out with it! |
