Really. I hate Gentoo. Its the "micro-optimizations uber alles" mentality of system configuration. What's worth more: running 4% faster or everything actually working without having to tweak a million compilation settings? There's a reason to use pre-configured and tested packages such as Debian provides: people have figured this shit out for you. This shit has been done for a decade and Gentoo decides to throw it all out so users can spend days reconfiguring and recompiling their software in a desperate attempt to wring just a bit more speed out of their hardware when they could be spending that time whoring on the street to scrape together the $200 to buy a faster CPU. That said my mp3 player of choice on Linux is mpg123. -- Michael G Schwern schwern@xxxxx.xxx http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo.
