   But not as interesting as this :P  It's a good opportunity to learn   
   dealing with Gentoo.  Who knows, maybe it will even become my primary   
   system if I like the end result.  openSUSE might be a damn fine distro   
   (the most stable one I ever used besides Slackware), but the "click&go"   
   can sometimes be counter productive when you need to make changes the   
   developers didn't account for.
