It's not easy under any system. My favorite was trying to figure out how |
| 14 |
to get uuencode stuff under Redhat. It's the sharutils package in case |
| 15 |
you were wondering. |

Google and the Gentoo forums are your friends when trying to find what |
| 18 |
installs what though most of it fairly straightforward. Gentoo does have |
| 19 |
some unique issues because the Gentoo "system" is fairly stripped down |
| 20 |
so things like dig, telnet, or ftp are missing until you add them. |
| 21 |
That's much of the appeal to many people. |

emerge bind-tools to get nslookup, dig, host, etc. |
