This is not a troll. Here, let me explain this joke so the humor impaired can figure it out. Debian released in the next ice age, Microsoft postponing the ice age.
Is this a deliberate abuse of the moderation system, or just the result of the moderation work by an idiot who never should have had mod points?
The scary part is that this is the kind of thing which tends to just get clicked off affirmatively during metamoderation. "Looks like the usual anti-M$ diatribe to me! (click)"
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
It would be funnier if it wasn't so true...
I do find that emerge is a wonderful tool for installing with, however, I think they still need to do some work on the installation guide... I managed to get my gentoo box up running KDE and SAMBA (+some other stuff I require) but, the lack of a decent troubleshooting guide, and my relative inexperience with how Linux actually DOES what it does, means that I'm buggered if I can get the sound to work in an X session.
Still, my philosophy is 'This is how we learn'
I've never shoed a horse, but I once told a donkey to piss off!
