24 Sounds like you are new. Interesting commands: The "q" family. Just
25 do a "man q" and check it out since there is a few of them. There is
26 also eix, genlop which sort of has some common tools as the "q" family.
27 You also need use eselect from time to time as well. There are also
28 times when revdep-rebuild will rear its head too.

30 That should be a start and I'm sure someone will point out one or two I
31 missed as well. ;-)
