And how much they got paid to write it. |

Perhaps I'll take this oppertunity to say: Thanks, to everyone who |
| 12 |
helped make gentoo what it is today. You do a fabulous job. This is |
| 13 |
the best distro on the planet ; ) |

Present company excluded, I begin to feel resentful towards people that |
| 16 |
complain but offer nothing to help. I _don't_ want to offend anyone |
| 17 |
reading -- this mostly happens on the forums -- but c'mon people, if you |
| 18 |
know whats wrong, why not help out the devs instead of mocking them? |

This is supposed to be a self-supporting community, remember? |

At any rate, I just installed X last weekend and had no big problems. |

It may not work for everybody 100% of the time, but it works for me |
| 23 |
99.9% of the time, and the .1% is almost always my own fault. Remember |
| 24 |
how many people are collaborating on this project, and think of how |
| 25 |
difficult testing must be when there are literally thousands and |
| 26 |
thousands of hardware and software configurations. If something's |
| 27 |
broken, why not help them fix? They'd probably really appreciate it -- |
| 28 |
and i _know_ i would. |

Thanks again, to the gentoo team and the community here. |
