17 Wow! To bring back the thread on a Gentoo topic, I found neat howtos on
18 the wiki:

22 I guess I'll try when I'll have some really spare time...

24 Thanks for the cool link. The "next step", I guess, is things that
25 differ conceptually from the familiar Linux we're accustomed to. That
26 is, if you follow newslogs like OSNews, you'll see a lot of hobbysts and
27 engineers like to create new kernels. There is less interest in doing
28 conceptually novel userlands (novel shells etc.) or it is just my
29 impression? Maybe a more boring task?

31 Sorry for the naive question, I am *by no mean* a system programmer (All
32 I know is some decent Python, and I am just *now* learning the basics of
33 C++ ,that's it), so I'm sure I am plain wrong or there are rock solid
34 reasons behind it...
