system of package management:http://www.gentoo.org/doc/faq.html quoting:
<quote> How does this differ from Debian's apt or BSD's ports? Portage features the best of apt and ports; for example, USE options, a full dependency system, safe installs and uninstalls, and a true package database. Think of Portage as the best of both worlds; a ports system with the sensibilities and safety of a Linux package management system built-in. </quote> Sounds intriguing. Clearly the trend in debian to provide build dependencies is similar to the above functionality. anyone have any experience with gentoo. -walter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
