Re: project status

Just a thought on this one, gentoo is supriseingly useful for a mass 
machine rollout, you set one up. compiled and tweaked and tuned as you 
need. then your tar it up, build a handly little modified livecd iso 
then just partition untar set bootloader and run a script to change your 
settings. bingo.

rollout done.

now with masses of differing hardware the installer built here with 
hardware detection tools and the like would be of massive importance.

also to be honest gentoo is a great distro for corporate use, but there 
comes a tradeoff, just as everything else in corporate existance.
