A couple of things to remember: |

Gentoo IS a pita to install and run compared to most other distros - |

I've had a brand new laptop lying around for 6 months which has been an |

absolute pain and is still not working ... |

RTFM is NOT an acceptable answer - half the time the documentation is |
| 14 |
worse than the program, the other half of the time you can't find it and |
| 15 |
the stuff on the web is out-or-date, irrelevant, or some other rabbit |
| 16 |
hole ... |

IBM used to have a "black team", apparently. Anybody who was just plain |
| 19 |
useless at their job, or could never get things to work, or just took |
| 20 |
pleasure in breaking things, was put on this team. Telling developers |
| 21 |
their work was being handed over to this lot for testing was considered |
| 22 |
pure torture. I guess Alan belongs on that team - at least if the devs |
| 23 |
are reading it helps gentoo get more robust :-) |
