Lurking, yes, easy to do.

Glad you're using Gentoo, I am too, and love it dearly. Everyone
else in the world seems to be using Debian (or a derivative), or
RedHat. And by "the world", I mean the people I talk to who use
Linux.

You should give Paludis a try. Using unstable package managers helps
one feel more alive. Although it actually works pretty smoothly, all
in all. Has fun features, like sensible config layouts and the
option to mask packages by license.

I can't believe your employer is using Windows 95. How is it
possible to do that without getting hijacked instantly? Wasn't
support for it (including security patches) dropped a quite a while
ago? Or is it a standalone machine. Regardless, that just seems
masochistic.


Look forward to hearing more from you soon,

Nick
