Here's very good advice for the OP: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Do not do this. Walter does it, and he finds it works for him. He's been |
| 20 |
doing it for years and nothing will persuade him to do it any other way. |
| 21 |

You should not do with USE what Walter does. Trust me, it will lead you |
| 23 |
down a path of immense pain that you do not have the tools to get out |
| 24 |
of, and when you ask here for help you will be told to take that -* out |
| 25 |
of USE. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
No offense Walter, but this is really bad advice to give someone brand |
| 28 |
new to Gentoo. He really is ill-equipped to deal with it, and USE="-*" |
| 29 |
is best left to those who fully understand exactly what they are getting |
| 30 |
themselves into. |
