Nope, haven't missed a thing; I'm on the other side of the fence (of |
| 8 |
course the _right_ side :-) ), where we can keep all our /bin /sbin /usr |
| 9 |
directories separate and live happily everafter... ;-) |

You're correct in a sense; if I choose to accept the New World Order |
| 17 |
(NWO) and put everything into /usr then you would be correct. As it |
| 18 |
stands now, I'm going in the other direction (putting /, /usr, /var, |
| 19 |
/home on separate harddrives)... :-D |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
But I guess Gentoo itself will adapt to the NWO eventually, unless (by |
| 22 |
some miracle) some sanity is restored, so I'll have to find a new OS to |
| 23 |
use (probably FreeBSD)... |
