It's sort of funny in a way. I hardly ever go to the Gentoo website. I |
| 27 |
follow this list and -dev and learn that way. I sync usually each |
| 28 |
Friday or Saturday and usually by the time I get the packages downloaded |
| 29 |
over my slow dial-up, if there are any problems with something it will |
| 30 |
be on the list by then. I do on occasion search the forums. I'm going |
| 31 |
through the qt blockages now but I still have a lot to download yet. |
| 32 |
That qt-core package is huge. Almost like OOo. Then there are the |
| 33 |
brothers, sisters and children of that thing to go with it. |

| 35 |
I need broadband something awful. I don't think sticking a stick of |
| 36 |
dynamite under AT&T would do any good at all either |
