It works, it's great, it never failed for me, and I think it's a great |
| 14 |
asset to have in a metadistribution environment like Gentoo. |

Maybe there is a problem of scope. It's probably too much work to have |
| 17 |
it work/documented for the default user to use on a general-purpose |
| 18 |
workstation, where xfree/mplayer/whatever will break or where the user |
| 19 |
won't read the F manual. Maybe the scope should be server/router |
| 20 |
environments only, so that the number of packages to check and support |
| 21 |
would be more reasonable and the user level would be higher... |
