    For some reason I can't get this to work. I read the man pages but it seems like emerge doesn't have a stealth mode? Let me know if I am missing something here before i go back to Ubuntu.

  10. For Those of You Who Think There Are Deeper Issues on On the Subject of Slashdot Article Formatting · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Taco's rant about spelling might have quelled some of your thirsts for attention. Unfortunately, Taco doesn't mention the shameless self promotions, slashvertisements, and thousands of non-groupthink posts that get moderated into oblivion by the "editors".

    Everytime I speak out usually results in my IP being banned for a few months. Slashdot isn't a meeting place or a pub, it's a website OSTG makes money on by posting suspect content to get more readers to stick around longer. Don't give these guys too much credit.
