Ack! You put your _mother_ on Gentoo! That's just evil... Seriously, I
just have rolling upgrades too - they'd roll more easily if Ubuntu used a
repository structure like Debian's, where the current repo is always
named "stable". I don't see the Gentoo advantage.

LOL. I'm kidding you - you asked for flames. There are things I always do
with the CLI. I haven't downloaded new packages except with aptitude in
years.

Yes, but JW thought the two databases were doing the same thing - if so,
noone wouldn't need both. But you're not skinning one cat - you're
skinning different ones.
