Kenny Smith <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: guitoo - graphical tools for gentoo.
System name: guitoo
Type: non-GNU

Description:
Guitoo is a project to help users of the gentoo [http://gentoo.org] GNU/Linux 
operating system administer their computer completely from a graphical user 
interface.  It is meant to work on top of existing tools rather than replace 
them.



Guitoo tools are written in c++ or python using the qt toolkit.  The python 
apps require pyqt.



Guitoo consists of several tools that allow the user to administer/configure 
his/her computer.



 [guitoo etcetera]

        guitoo etcetera allows a user to update any configuration files that 
might have been changed during am emerge.  it is an alternative to etc-update 
and allows a user to use a gui diff tool of choice.  guitoo etcetera is written 
in C++ and uses the QT toolkit

 [guitoo updater] 

         guitoo updater is a wizard that guides a user through the syncing of 
his portage tree, fixing blocks, selecting packages, and finally 
emerging/compiling the packages.  It is extremely user-friendly and is built to 
be "girlfriend proof"

 [guitoo config]

         guitoo config is a graphical configuration file editor.  IT allows 
users to edit a files like /etc/fstab using a intuitive GUI interface.  
Developers can contribute "plugins" for each configuration file using a 
XML-Based Plugin.  



More tools will arrive as they are developed, but these three are currently 
planned.



guitoo etcetera has source code for review (it is partially functional) 
[http://www.standsolid.com/guitoo/guitooetcetera-0.05.tar.gz] 



I have several other developers who have made offers to assist me with my 
project and also have projects of their own.

Other Software Required:
Qt, Gentoo GNU/Linux, Gentoo Portage, Python. PyQT

Other Comments:
I made the changes that was asked of me :)  I now refer to "Linux" as the 
GNU/Linux operating system in my description, and have added the GPL notices in 
my code.
