Now I don't approve of the Castro dictatorship, even though it is better than the US-backed Batista dictatorship.... How can the word "better" fit in the same sentence where you mention replacing one evil bastard with another (please weight the evil bastard factor by the time in power factor). What on earth were you thinking?
Sliced bread, you say? I think you may have missed the point entirely. As an avid, extremely happy gentoo user, I have felt a bit like being handed the seed and being given instructions on how to plant, irrigate fields, watch the wheat grow, build your own harvesting equipment, harvest, grind it to make flour, build an oven, bake the bread, then pass it around and eat it. What an incredible feeling of independence (dependency hell aside, that pun really *was* intended) and what marvellous bread too!
Documentation, although brief, is extremely well and thoughtfully written (and well translated to a few other European languages) and available on their well organised website.
The clever python-based Portage system yields interesting results when put to the test, recently gentoo was ported to the alpha architecture in two days only. For us regular gentoo users it provides the basis for extremely flexible and stable systems.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the developers and wish them luck with forthcoming releases.
sql-ledger is written in perl and works synergistically with open source successes such as postgresql and apache to provide an excellent double entry accounting package for multiple users and multiple companies. It is currently translated into 17 different languages and being actively developed at this time. It's worth the effort to look into it now because of a soon-to-come big leap in functionality on the release of version 1.8. Setting up is not complicated and for the purposes of testing (or running a private installation) you can use Doug Neal's very capable dnhttpd webserver written in perl (included in the distribution tarball). Kudos to Dieter Simader, the main developer from Canada and a host of other dedicated developers throughout the world. Great work guys!

Cool! I wonder whether the bacteria's excreta will smell better or worse than the perspiration they feed on! Any thoughts on this?
Now ... it's only a matter of time before they put the indulgences online too, so we can all get into web-heaven.
