    haha how is gentoo? Been a while since I had an extra system fast enough to setup from scratch. I met this bad ass Korean programmer (loves Ruby) guess what his english name is... yeah you guessed it "Daniel" ...strange strange world.

    /me looks up the man page for emerge

    Ouch! Bet that took a while :-) I think I'll stick to my binary updates: `apt-get update; apt-get upgrade`

    Gentoo's fine, Charlie. :) How you doin'?

    It was actually nothing more than abject stupidity that caused the problem. The entire update to the latest profile (2005.0) went great, but after running etc-update I borked some stuff up.

    Just a flesh wound...nothing to see here...move along.

    first thing I do if I have problems after a -uD is a revdep-rebuild as it will go through and recompile anything thats had its libraries change.
