Well if your kernel supports supermount (you usually have to patch your kernel), then removable media is supported, ie you can eject and insert a cd whenever you want and it will be mounted automatically, this is what Mandrake linux has. There certainly are kernels for gentoo which are supermount enabled, you can get one of them if your default kernel doesnt support it. > Hmm. Those are the two big issues.
