gentoo linux has a similar system called portage. You can download a 40M bootstrap iso and build your entire system using portage. This is a wonderful distro.
I'm going to build an Athlon machine for music making (midi & digital audio). My current OC'd dual Celeron is louder than a wind tunnel. Anyone have any suggestions on the subject line?

Commercial news is sell-out crap. If you want real news, noncommercial is where it's at.
If I must be subjected to idiot-box marketeering I'll be watching Awful Truth and the Daily Show for laughs and sick irony.
Aside from the diversion of research in the public interest to research for corporate profits, findings that are harmful to the underwriter's interest are quickly patented and buried. Anyone who doesn't find this alarming is either a moron or a whore.
I'm a former professional musician. Everyone knows the music business is a fucking joke: MTV, commercial radio, lawyers, promoters, media conglomerates, cross-marketing deals, etc. Art is severly compromised by this system.
Most musicians think this system is the only avenue to respectable financial reward. Unfortunately, even if you do play the game and sign a contract, odds are you still won't make any dough and those motherfuckers OWN you. They could bury you're work on a whim.
I have a great respect for your music and your work ethic. Like all the best bands, you wrote the music from your heart and you played it with intensity to the largest possible audience. I know what it's like to tour and self-promote; it's the hardest work I've ever done.
Money and contracts aside, do you recognize the mind-expanding potential of the internet to share your art with the world, free of the incredible burdens imposed by the "biz"? If you could meet your financial needs would you use the internet in this manner? Money and contracts aside, why are you attacking the free(speech not beer) distribution of art via the internet in deference to the hopelessly corrupt music business?
Luckily, here in Seattle we've got some nice noncomercial radio and tv. I never listen to commercial radio it gives me a fscking headache. Who wants to hear the new nsync hit 5 times an hour anyway?
Excuse me? Pat "Satan" Roberts lackey-boy? The weasel responsible for the current american hate-mongering republican majority? Playing for the Dubya camp now??? Satan indeed.

Excellent points. What's up with all of these Dubya lovin' morons? You're not voting for freshman class president for fucks sake!

Well said.

If the ice cap melts for a duration of 100 years every 45,000 years, WE WOULD NOT SEE IT ACCORDING TO YOUR THEORY

How does the libertarian model address environmental stewardship? How do you solve deforestation, rampant consumption, pollution, global warming, etc?
check out GW's record in Texas I'd laugh if it weren't so fucking sad.
Stay off the roads jackass
The latest Ballard engine has the same volume as a conventional combustion engine. Fuel cell cars are going into production in the next 3-5 years.
Very good points.
