Been there, done that. They didn't say anything about having to |
| 15 |
reinstall. To tell the truth, they treated me better once they knew I |
| 16 |
wasn't another Dumb User(tm). Only done it once, though, so I may |
| 17 |
have just been lucky. Please share any relevant personal experiences |
| 18 |
you have. |

Not sure I understood you correctly. Do you mean to say that we'd be |
| 25 |
able to use fink and DP repos and have portage understand them? |
| 26 |
Obviously, using their repos would be pretty useless for the most |
| 27 |
part, but it'd still be an interesting exercise in abuse of portage |
| 28 |
features. |
