I've installed Gentoo with LVM2 (before 2 days ago when I used 2005.0). Don't quote me on this but I'm pretty sure it was using a 2004.1 LiveCD, so I would be very surprised to hear that 2004.3 is using LVM1. > Guys, I seriously need ideas...

Not trying to shoo you away, but there is more out there than Gentoo and RPM-based distros, if that's what you're looking for. Much more. Slackware springs to mind (first Linux distro I ever used, it is a great distro). There is also Debian. I haven't used it and cannot comment further on it. I'm sure that a bunch of people here will have some colourful thoughts though. [Heh, I almost brought up a quote from Ciaran and used it here but remembering all the fuss last time I thought better of it. Something about SUVs and shotguns... :) ] -- Sami Samhuri
