I don't reply on here much so please forgive me this one, and maybe a few more in the future. One, Gentoo grows on a person. If you are not willing to try it for at least a couple months and put in the effort to learn it, don't even try it. You are wasting time. Two, I bet there is a easy fix to his problem with regard to the error he posted. Most likely a known one at that. Third, he should try the latest portage that takes care of blocks very well. It may not be stable yet but it has worked so far and I suspect it would work for him as well. It's funny how a person can run into one issue and then blame everyone else for them not doing a little research. I also didn't see him post on -user to see if there is a workaround for his problem either. Maybe he needs to try Windoze. O_O While I am here, as a user of Gentoo for about 5 years or so, thanks for all the good work. There have been a lot of curves and bumps but ya'll do some super coding to say it lightly! Wish I was filthy rich. I would send all the devs a new rig to play with. Maybe even the MIPS folks too. LOL Just wishing tho. I'm not even sure what a MIPS is tho I suspect they are old.
