My recommendation would be to visit your local Wal-Mart and look at their low-end Linux PC. I believe it's Linspire-based. Then tell your business partner that you need twice the performance at half the cost. :)
Installing Gentoo would give you that anyway wouldn't it? :-P
Idea, would it be possible to create a profile for setting up retail machines (say a subclass of 2004.3) then once fully set up, just switch them to running the 2004.3 profile?
That to me looks like the closest comprimise between the two. Simply emerge everything as you normally would to install the usual packages customers would want, then simply switch the profile over -- allowing the customer to easily unmerge packages at will. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Stuart Longland -oOo- http://stuartl.longlandclan.hopto.org | | Atomic Linux Project -oOo- http://atomicl.berlios.de | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | | I haven't lost my mind - it's backed up on a tape somewhere | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
