gentoo and tar.
Ok so I was special enough to do an #emerge -C tar. Then I changed my mirror and did an #emerge tar. The error read something like "ahh I cant untar the tar code so I can compile it"... What id10t programmer decided to use the tared version of the source and not the .gz one.
So I figured I'd have some fun while I downloaded and compiled the .gz version and looked through the gentoo forums on what to do if you had deleted tar. There was only one real response and it simply stated that you had to put in the install cd and copy over some files... I love it gentoo users talk about being soo leet since they compile their whole system from scratch, but when it comes time to actually compile something they dont know what to do.
Its almost like some people are just born hypocritical.
