In the world of Gentoo, masking and unmasking packages is the process by which a user controls what specific packages are able to be installed on their system. This video covers how to perform this important function.

Thanks to Let's play on Linux for the video idea suggestion!

(Correction at appx. 6:26 - "package called package.mask" should be "file called package.mask")
