Hey Benny!

 MK>> In conclusion, gawk is good.

 BP> so why use awk ? :=)

  $ readlink /usr/bin/awk
  gawk

It's the same thing here as well as many other distributions (eg slackware). 
Only the MS-think types (eg Debian) use mawk.  The heathen bastards!!!

Besides gawk is GNU and is vastly superior to mawk.

What is gentoo's default awk?

Life is good,
