Fun colors and a Gentoo rant
Well, the format of the blog is now to my liking :) The code is pretty easy to understand once you fiddle with it some.
*rant on*
Yanno, I was attracted to Gentoo because of its flexibility, power, and the ease of maintaining packages that were all installed by compiling from source. Portage is cool, the documentation was wonderful, the forums informative. New ebuilds were added to portage within 24 hours of any popular application's release (Mozilla, KDE etc). I was thrilled when they released the genkernel script that you can install which will automatically run all the steps to build the kernel. It was wonderbar.
Now, applications aren't quite as quick to get to ebuilds and more importantly some major b0rkage is happening in genkernel. There have been people reporting in the Gentoo forums that they are left with an unbootable systems and kernel panics after running genkernel. Not good. Something has changed in the Gentoo developer community, and it's not for the best.

Other than that, TGIF!! Got a great deal on a new cell phone package and can't wait for the new phone to arrive. *drool*
