  Thanks,
  Your questions:
  When i say "i don't have time" I mean: "I don't have
time to *this* task". My paper is about Linux distros, not
about gentoo. I want to put the gentoo in my paper, but with
the right values, and without waste too much time. There are
too many distros, debian, slack, conectiva, suse, mandrake...
I need *do* one task, that is my graduation's monograph, and
that is my *goal*. time is gold... But you are helping me..
  I will try the script that you have sad.. if i get the
data, i will parse and use them.
  Thanks again.. without cc. :)
