	<p><b>Slithering Along the Bleeding Edge</b></p>

	<p>The development tree of the Linux kernel is advancing towards 2.6 rapidly, and several threads in the forums are making clear that Gentooists are pretty much following the development as closely as possible. Not without the occasional problem, apparently...</p>

	<p><b>Best April Fool's Joke Ever</b></p>

	<p>Check the first link in our list: The forums had actually predicted that this would happen... But the threat of Portage's disappearance hit a nerve in many faithful Gentoo users, and many went into shock for anything between a split-second to several hours. They shouted abuse at their screens or room mates, and threatened to start deleting their portage tree before it dawned on them: They'd been had... And amidst the outrage over Gentoo's alleged move to RPM, only a handful of Germans found the second false news in last week's GWN.</p>

       <p><b>Gentoo Corporate Usage?</b></p>
       <p>
	   With over 60 responses so far, this week's busiest thread on gentoo-user asks about companies (preferably large ones) that are using Gentoo in a production environment.  Many people responded indicating they didn't feel Gentoo was appropriate for a production environment, noting too many problems with their own personal systems.  Others indicated that Gentoo ran quite happily in a production role, often serving upwards of 150,000 clients.  The responses are obviously quite varied and, in many cases, off-topic, but the thread does contain quite a few interesting insights into the trials and tribulations of using Gentoo Linux in a production environment.

		<p><b>Package management for non-ebuild software</b></p>
		<p>
		Jan Drugowitsch asked about managing software packages installed outside of Portage on a Gentoo Linux system.  Responses were varied and helpful, pointing to several open source projects which might fit the bill.

  <p><b>Portage Programming Question</b></p>
  <p>Robin H. Johnson
     <uri link="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-dev&m=104900613027231&w=2">asked</uri>
	 about the availability of some documentation on the Portage DB API and he received a nice surprise
	 when he was told to type <c>python</c> [RETURN] <c>help()</c> [RETURN] <c>portage</c> to get to
	 Python's interactive help.

  <p><b>ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" equivalent?</b></p>
  <p>Jani Monoses was
     <uri link="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-dev&m=104877565711737&w=2">wondering</uri>

	 Thomas M. Beaudry
	 <uri link="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-dev&m=104877651312869&w=2">chipped in</uri>
