When Gentoo was still new, and the majority of users were quite
experienced, it would happen a great deal.  There are various files that
need to be edited, but the only editor available on the install was
nano.

As the install from stage 1 is a rather long process, one often got to
it late at night.  Many people would have the the install die because
out of habit, we'd end our /etc/make.conf with :x or :wq! or something
else that confused it.

I was the first one to publicly admit it on the mailing list and there
were a flood of "me too" posts.  :)
