Yes!  I am so glad never to see RPM - I just emerge sync, emerge -up world 
and I see what I need to do.  I've been using Gentoo for a couple of months 
but still have a Caldera WS 3.1 box which will go away shortly.  Recently I 
needed to update something on the Caldera box so I downloaded the RPM - 
whoops need something else from Gnome. Rpmfind has a bazillion copies of 
that library.  Stuff it, I don't have time to learn Gnome or try a few of 
the bazillion copies to see which one works.
