trinque: lobbes: honestly I think you'd benefit more from doing a "linux from scratch" build than this, unless you have an immediate need for an ebuild

lobbes: trinque: I can see the logic in this, because honestly the more I chew through Portage the more I realize that I do not have a firm grasp on simple fundamentals. While I want to help the OS effort, at my current level of experience I think I'd just be slowing everyone else down.
lobbes: I'ma bounce this idea off of diana_coman in #o. Ty trinque for the suggestion.
