No, after the fix_libtool_files.sh run, you do the "emerge --resume" to have |
| 7 |
it pick up where it left off. |

We as a community do not like to see people abandoning Gentoo for the likes |
| 23 |
of fedora or slack. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
That said, there are folks for whom the binary distributions are more |
| 26 |
appropriate than gentoo. You will lose the fine-grained control over the |
| 27 |
packages that are installed as well as an in-depth understanding of what |
| 28 |
linux actually is, and you'll also be tied to their release cycles, etc. |

Gentoo just seems daunting to the uninitiated; once you get the feel for the |
| 31 |
tools and with the full backing of the community, I think you would find |
| 32 |
gentoo is just what you're looking for. |
