Ok, I gotta ask cuz I just don't get it. Why? Why spend the hours 
watching your computer churn and burn as it compiles your system? And 
then have it not work like you want it to; having really nothing to show 
for the effort. I have never understood this. My son used to use Gentoo 
and compiled everything. I would laugh because while I was *using* my 
computer he was compiling.

Is it a case of: Q) Why climb Everest? A) Because it is there! or 
something else?
