I don't want to sound ungrateful. I love Gentoo and _really_ appreciate |
2 |
the work you all have done. I hope to contribute as my knowledge of |
3 |
Gentoo improves and work/school allow. |

That said, let me say that as a user I've been very frustrated by the |
6 |
handling of this change. I subscribe to the lists for the very purpose |
7 |
of being informed of these changes. Unfortunately, the ebuilds started |
8 |
to change more than four days before the announcement was sent out. It |
9 |
seems to me this is the opposite of what should have happened. |

|
11 |
Now that that's off my chest, I'll see if I have some time to build and |
12 |
test this evening. Thanks again for making such a wonderful distro |
13 |
available on ppc. |
