  1. Re:What about post-install management? on Gentoo 2005.0: A Live CD And [No] Graphical Installer · · Score: 3, Informative

    As far as I know portage doesn't update configuration files for you. It tells you to run etc-update if there are (possible) updates to configuration files.

    etc-update allows you to review the changes and apply or ignore them as you see fit.

    I believe you can even protect certain files so portage stops bugging you about them, i.e. I'm pretty sure I do not want to revert /etc/fstab to the installation default when I update baselayout (or whatever package fstab comes in), so I could tell portage to just keep its claws away from that file.

  2. Re:twins on There Are Infinitely Many Prime Twins · · Score: 1

    Actually only two 'conjoined twin' primes are known.

    The answer is left as an exercise for the reader (it's as easy as 1-2-3).

  3. Re:Why so much time and energy? on The Captains of Nautilus · · Score: 1

    My konqueror has no problem in browsing bzipped tar files. It also browses zip files.

    This is in KDE cvs, I'm not sure if earlier versions had it, but 3.1 surely will.

  4. Re:Emulators abound.... on Old Games for PDAs? · · Score: 1

    PocketSarien is also quite nice. I use it to play Leisure Suit Larry 1 and Space Quest I on an iPaq.
