But sometimes you want to *be* the expert. It can be an itch that you
need to scratch. Basically that is what {,B}LFS is all about...
learning more than "necessary". To me, always learning new things is
essential. Having the source code and the mailing lists and the net in
general makes is possible to drill down until the itch is satisfied.
