Yes. I look at the entire output of emerge -pv *EVERY* single time. Not |
| 25 |
doing so would be insane and I would get what I deserve... a broken system. |

How much more eye-catching does it need to be? It's color coded in a |
| 33 |
column along the left hand side of the screen in a nice format that is |
| 34 |
easily parse-able and grep-able. You don't even have to scan left to |
| 35 |
right when reading it! |

It's obvious to me that you haven't been a long time Gentoo user. All of |
| 38 |
the issues you have brought up in the several different threads are all |
| 39 |
mistakes that n00bs make when changing their Linux Admin paradigm to the |
| 40 |
Gentoo Way(tm). |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
We see a thousand questions a year just like yours in the forums from |
| 43 |
new Gentoo users. Every single one of those users comes back in a few |
| 44 |
months and recants once they get a good understanding of what they are |
| 45 |
doing and how powerful Gentoo actually is. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Once you use it for a while you will find that the current system (USE, |
| 48 |
SLOTs, etc...) is *extremely* powerful and flexible from just about any |
| 49 |
POV. No binary distro can beat it. |
