I don't reply on here much so please forgive me this one, and maybe a |
| 33 |
few more in the future. |

One, Gentoo grows on a person. If you are not willing to try it for at |
| 36 |
least a couple months and put in the effort to learn it, don't even try |
| 37 |
it. You are wasting time. Two, I bet there is a easy fix to his |
| 38 |
problem with regard to the error he posted. Most likely a known one at |
| 39 |
that. Third, he should try the latest portage that takes care of blocks |
| 40 |
very well. It may not be stable yet but it has worked so far and I |
| 41 |
suspect it would work for him as well. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
It's funny how a person can run into one issue and then blame everyone |
| 44 |
else for them not doing a little research. I also didn't see him post |
| 45 |
on -user to see if there is a workaround for his problem either. Maybe |
| 46 |
he needs to try Windoze. O_O |
| 47 |

While I am here, as a user of Gentoo for about 5 years or so, thanks for |
| 49 |
all the good work. There have been a lot of curves and bumps but ya'll |
| 50 |
do some super coding to say it lightly! Wish I was filthy rich. I |
| 51 |
would send all the devs a new rig to play with. Maybe even the MIPS |
| 52 |
folks too. LOL Just wishing tho. I'm not even sure what a MIPS is tho |
| 53 |
I suspect they are old. |
