Point is, most people I've seen in here know a lot more than most[1], |
| 20 |
and are generally intelligent enough to overcome any limitation that |
| 21 |
isn't fundamentally philosophical in origin (see mdev vs udev, ALSA vs |
| 22 |
OSS4 vs PulseAudio, lvm vs mdraid vs physical raid vs btrfs vs zfs). |
| 23 |

So don't sell yourself too short, and don't blindly trust the opinions |
| 25 |
and decisions of others; they're not always as right as assume them to |
| 26 |
be, and managing to get Gentoo working suggests you have some right to |
| 27 |
point out when the emperor's not wearing any clothes. |

[1] I like to surround myself with people smarter or more |
| 31 |
knowledgeable than I am about things, and I hit the motherload in this |

list... |
