Ditto for me. I have a question or two. I have servers that have no
GUI at all. I just use them to run folding on. Would I benefit from
puting in USE="-*" in my USE line? I have been reading this thread and
am learning a bit about how this works. It seems that by default Gentoo
users do not have as much control as one would think. At least not
until you learn how to override the defaults. That may be good for a
noobie though. I'm not complaining, just saying that some need the
extra hand at first and then as you mature you learn how to override the
defaults. I think I just did that by the way. Still to chicken to try
it though. :\ I need more "guruness" in me first. LOL
Keep up the good work. Oh, answer to the questions would be nice too. :-)

80GB hard drives. Named Smoker
2: Home built; Iwill KK266-R w/ AMD 1GHz CPU, 256MBs of ram and a 4GB drive.
Named Swifty
