Hi, |

I've been using Gentoo for about 4 days now, and I think it's |
| 4 |
definitely the best one I've used yet. I loved the OpenBSD ports |
| 5 |
heirarchy, and I am a bit of a python programmer myself. I'm |
| 6 |
looking forward to contributing in any way possible, no matter how |
| 7 |
slight. |

Anyway, I had a few questions: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
1. Is there a way to generate a binary CD image? I'd like to |
| 12 |
install Gentoo on my friends' machine's but I don't think they'll |
| 13 |
enjoy the wait. I can compile at the proper optimizations in the |
| 14 |
background on my beefeater 1GHz for a few days much easier than they |
| 15 |
can on their own, or wait for the bootstrap process. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
2. Are there guidelines for making additions to the ports? I've |
| 18 |
already made ebuilds for p5-Perl, coldsync, Pybliographer, and |
| 19 |
recode-3.5 (for pybliographer). It's so easy to do these it might |
| 20 |
be redundant or silly, but I would think you'd like to have as many |
| 21 |
ports as possible (even though these are not difficult builds). |

Thanks for the superb distribution! |
