One would expect gentoo products to _at least_ function the way they themselves claim. Here the basic functionality is missing. The CD does NOT install the way they have claimed. Once I can get the basic functionality, only then can I look for stability. This is why I talked about maturity and not stability. I get a feeling that people are in a hurry to get their product out, without even bothering to check whether it is working at all. BTB, I am on debian, and quite happy with it. Just wanted to experiment with Gentoo :( -- K.
