I got another Qube2 just in case the one I have dies. I really like it and the price was right for a second one so I got it. For the heck of it, I decided to try one of the other operating systems on it, so I chose Gentoo. I got Gentoo running on my Linksys DSM-G600 via fun plug and chroot, and it mostly worked. I had tried to get it running on 2 separate i386 machines (both emulated), and failed to get it to boot properly. So I didn't have high hopes. I finally got it booting on the Qube2 but found that portage is broken, and the man pages won't work because lzma can't be installed due to some dependency problem... I don't really feel like trying to fix everything so I'm pretty much done with that. So I might try Debian, but I never particularly liked Debian. Is there anything else other than the OS that comes with it? NetBSD sure is nice. It just works, as usual. Hats off to the developers. I'll probably end up putting it on the second one too. Andy
