OK so keep in mind if you are successful at what you set up (your overlay ++) with gentoo, I'd be interested to know the details and maybe I'll move my codes to a similar structure; mostly java and science/math codes.... Drop me private email, or keep me informed whatever your chosen information dispersement is (a blog? etc) as your code development mechanisms evolve. sincerely, James
