But why, when Gentoo is at least as good, easier to use, and current? I'm going to give Gentoo a go, BTW. Last time I tried it, (v1.2), it puked on my SCSI controller (Compaq Smart2). 1.4 should be fixed.
PLUS, if I build 1.4rc1 into a production box, I can virtually guarantee that 1.4 will go gold the day I finish... :) Which is a good thing. I'll just say "Install Gentoo following the manufacturer's documentation for a default installation..." It is well documented, so that should be fine. Plus, it sounds like there is no weirdness, or screwiness.
