9 Trust it, Mark, it works great! I've been using CDB for like 9 months now.
10 I've had only one problem with it (the recent python 2.3 to 2.4 upgrade, I
11 missed the fact that I was to run python-updater, so the CDB stuff was not
12 automagically upgraded on it's own).

14 It's very quick, EIX supports it, and it works like a charm.
