Just out of Curiosity...... is there a graphical front end to portage???
Not that i don't like emerging from the command line.....  it would just be pretty nifty.

Yep, there are some.
You can look around for portato, kuroo, or porthole. Beware that kuroo liked to corrupt the portage database every now and then, I don't know if this is still true. Though at a first glance it might seem impressive, it is -or at least, used to be- pretty pretty buggy. Porthole is fine, though a bit slow, but at least, it works ok. But the porthole version in portage is outdated, and will not even work with the current portage, I think. So, use the cvs instead. No ebuild, sorry, just download it and use it in your home dir.
To download it do:
| Code: |
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@porthole.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/porthole co -P trunk
|
then
| Code: |
cd trunk
./porthole -l -d ALL
|
Portato is way too limited and is not in portage. I don't know about its current state.
In any case, I would not rely too much on any of them. Their development is too slow and the command line tools work just ok. |

| if you're a KDE fan, I tried kuroo at one point and it was pretty well done. I haven't tried any of the GTK ones though. |

I just assume, your info is a little bit too old . Currently it should have more functionality than porthole (though I haven't tested the cvs version) =)
If you want to test it - it is in the sunrise overlay.
