 This is just a quick side question to the "Gentoo - how do you
install it?" thread - Cliff suggested reading the README by: `cat
README | more`
 Why would you pipe the output of `cat README` through more, instead
of just running `more README`? And why use more at all, when you can
use less?
 I'm just curious about this, personally I would have run `less README`.
