I hope you both have a wonderful vacation - glueckliche Ferien! |

For those of us who have already installed and are successfully running a |
| 68 |
gentoo system, would we have any need to reinstall and go through all the |
| 69 |
30+ hours of compiles to get back to where we are now? Has anything |
| 70 |
essential changed, other than having a more reliable boot cdrom and, |
| 71 |
hopefully, error free ebuilds? |
| 72 |

Thanks, |
