Also, there are sometimes packages that the last stable version was |
| 22 |
just that old. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
There are also ocasionally packages that require multiple versions to be |
| 25 |
installed in order to achieve what we want. How many versions of glib |
| 26 |
are there? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Also, from what I have seen, portage often times has the most recent |
| 29 |
builds of the packages that change most. :P |

That is one of my main reasons for moving towards Gentoo to start with. |
| 32 |
^_^ I like current packages. ^_^ |
