Dear All, Thanks to everyone for your advice. I really appreciate it. I think you've convinced me that:
a)I want to have a go with Gentoo. b)That everything I want/need can be done, and done well. c)That it will take quite a bit of time (but be worth it) Given (c), I shall probably stick with (and finish) my half-installed Mandriva system on the ThinkpPad for now - but it seems like an excellent reason to buy that Dual-Opteron desktop I have been dreaming about :-) When I do, I'l be back! Thanks a lot for your help - and Happy New Year. Best wishes, Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
