Still... it meant that some areas got to move up from the technology that was offered with Red Hat 7.1 to more current technologies / versions...

Hi Gentoo Users, Can anyone out there point me to some links of Gentoo installations on IBM mainframes - zSeries or S/390? I've had a look in Google, and the only useful link I found was: http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/s390/ The steps mentioned state that you're installing Gentoo from an already existing Linux installation. Wondering if anyone has heard of how you'd do it from scratch.
