13 Interesting choice:: how do you like your choices, Felix?

17
18 Still think we do not need an easier installation semantic? If he decides to
19 'upgrade' there will be tons of man-hours spent on this effort. If we had a

24 If we (gentoo) had a simple installation semantic, this sort of problem
25 would most likely disappear; so the wider community could delve into other
