In Europe it is a normal thing to buy electricity from other countries. |
| 27 |
You can |
| 28 |
even choose a private provider for electricity (company that resells |
| 29 |
electricity from germany and other countries). |
| 30 |
I buy about $100/month here for electricity and I don't need gas. |

Have you tested the docbook stuff? Yesterday I found a few documents |
| 39 |
that can be converted to man/info pages too. |
| 40 |
So the perl stuff seems to work too and it is just a document question. |
| 41 |
I'll try to make a docbook from my |
| 42 |
ebuild man pages as an example. |
| 43 |
Additionaly I will look how kde customized their docbook system and try |
| 44 |
to make one for gentoo. |
| 45 |
To finish up the docbook system I will add ldp (Linux docbook) and |
| 46 |
gnome-docbook stuff. |
