[plug] Help with Gentoo rc scripts wanted

[W.Kenworthy]

I think of it more as Mandriva/suse/redhat etc putting a more civilised
layer on top of both linux itself, and upstream packaging.  Gentoo is a
few levels further down - for example mods to upstream packages are
usually minimal.  This civilisation process is that a binary distro does
for its users, with gentoo you do this yourself.  The upside of course
is that its easy to change/modify and generally shoot yourself in the
foot, or have a ferrari system instead of a hyundai box depending on
your skill/choices.  And not to forget that the learning as you go
process is unrivalled.  Underneath linux is linux, its just that gentoo
is closer to that "underneath"!
