Hmm, then I'd say it's pretty much -your- responsibility, not Gentoo's, to add this abstraction layer the way -you- want it. I mean, you want your room full of servers working the RH way, and that's fine, but other people may very well prefer their abstraction to work the Debian or the BSD way, and there is no compelling reason for Gentoo to favor a system over any other. (If anything, the Gentoo way is IMO more modern and more powerful, so I'd rather port it to other distros than the other way around!) Besides, it's not like writing this abstraction layer was anywhere near difficult, as the many fine scripts already posted here show. :) Good luck with Gentoo, Phil, I hope you'll enjoy it! -- S. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
