Hi Ming-Che,


WHOW! :)

Thanks a LOT for the explanations! 8)
That will help to start programming the Arduino!

One question: 
Did you download the arduino-1.6.8 binary distribution or
the sources and compile those locally on your GENTOO box?

Best regards

Meino

PS: In a few minutes I will send you a mail offlist
with some infos about what I have found and for what
I will use the arduino. I would be happy, if you
can use it for you arduino project also!
