recommend consulting an attorney with expertise in such matters. The
last thing Gentoo needs is major legal hassles.

Finally, let me add that I've never personally experienced what I would

I'm not a developer ... and I'm not in California ... but I am a Gentoo

users/developers. The documentation and forums are excellent, as are the

I think wxMaxima came up on the gentoo-science list; there may already
be a request for an ebuild and someone may even have done it. Meanwhile,
ordinary Maxima, including the standard X interface, is already in
Portage. So are emacs, xemacs and texmacs, all of which provide a

There are also some serious performance issues with I/O. Xen is a much
better way to go in the long run. See

Seriously though, I too work with xSeries, as well as IBM desktops, and

I was just going to say something similar, although I'm not an employee

Should I *not* emerge this gcc? I usually hold off on gcc updates when
