Wow. the folks over at Gentoo are owking on a live cd that rocks. it will bring you up into gnome. I looks like they borrowed the Xwindows configurer from knoppix to set up X windows on the fly. But what got my attention was the new install script that could do a fully custom gentoo install. I think the script is a great idea but still needs a few tweeks. butably it failed when I tried to use rsync for the portage and I can’t choose ReiserFS for my partion types. But on the up side it allows you to configure every thing and then save that config into an xml file that you can scp off to a different box and reuse. course it should only be used on a box with a similar hard drive for the partioning and depending on just how custom you went a similar cpu as well. Overall I give it 2 thumbs up!
