Nice, a third of the Gentoo book is done. When I initially agreed to that project I was not certain whether it would still be as much fun as it was in the beginning. But I am still making good progress and I still enjoy writing it. It is amazing to see how much of the knowledge that one uses every day and somehow takes for granted is actually worth describing once you consider the perspective of somebody not used to Gentoo.
It helps to structure the bits of pieces of information one has acquired over the years and puts some loose ends into context. And then there are some blank spots that I always wanted to fill but never actually reserved time for. Now I am forced to fill these areas and so I am improving how I handle my favourite Linux distribution while writing.
Somehow I am really satisfied with this project. Nice.
