Well, my beloved gentoo distro has become somewhat unstable, so I've
switched back to elx at least temporarily.
A few notes:
1) I've stripped out some of the offending daemons, so startup/shutdown is
a little faster. Still looking at removing others, but going slow to
avoid breaking anything.

Just wondering, has anyone sent an email to ELX on these couple of

supposed to be set up so any novice can immediately work in Linux
and basically have no problems.
