Haven't tried it yet (downloading now), but it kinda just seems wrong... |

I came to gentoo from an LFS system because I wanted better update support. |

But most importantly I still wanted to understand and control all the little |
| 10 |
details, something that you'll probably miss using a gui wrapper. |

Others, like John Joliet, may really see some value in it; inferring from |
| 16 |

| 17 |
then recompile components as needed. |
