No, as I don't need R-R anymore. |

P-R seems to work adequately. |

My big gripe is unnecessary dependencies, eg sound for KDE & FF. |
| 22 |
It's part of the lowest-common-denominator approach |
| 23 |
which seems to characterise Gnome, Ubuntu & M$ , but Gentoo should avoid. |
| 24 |
That said, I'm generally very satisfied with Gentoo : |
| 25 |
it's just over 10 years since I first started using it. |
