A reader writes:"According to this week's Gentoo Weekly Newsletter, Gentoo is planning a port to Sun's partially-announced OpenSolaris. Something interesting to look out for, or just more hype from a developer often criticized even by Gentoo people for not looking before he leaps?"

    YES. After 1000 days of 1% increases... my 486 smokes my AthlonXP. And we paint our computers red (cause red makes them faster), and I lean the CPU on a downhill slope with a fan blowing behind it.

    10. And the LORD spake unto the newbies. And he spake thus:
    11. First shalt thou try the Knoppix, for verily, it is a piece of cake to install, yea, even that thou intalleth it not.
    12. Then shall thou try the RedHat, for it is eay to install, and it is said "In the site of the Amazon, in the city of Linux, are there books without end, and they mostly covereth the Redhat."
    13. Or the SuSe, though it is the Devil's very own bugger to get the isos, but that thou payest.
    14. Or Mandrake, if thou art French.
    16: And the LORD spoke more saying: what happened to 15? Oh, never mind.
    17. And when thou hast three score days uptime upone thine Redhat
    18. Or SuSE.
    19. Or Mandrake, if thou art French
    20. Then canst thou try the Gentoo.
    21. Or Debian.

    Here endeth the lesson.

    The mere idea of a PHB implies that they are your boss, and so you can't fire them.
