Better than my first days of gentoo when I just either manually |
| 20 |
deleted the files or copied them to the new ones as portage |
| 21 |
complained. I'd just search for ._ files in /etc. |

Yeah, that sucked Then I was like "oh, etc-update, this is great." |
| 24 |
Then I was like "dispatch-conf, thats greater!" So now that I've got |
| 25 |

probably add some extra superlatives. |
