Actually, that was what I was thinking would be used, but someone else |
| 12 |
may know of something better. |

As I said, I know that I (being the non-programmer that I am) could |
| 15 |
cobble something together and eventually make it work, but I think that |
| 16 |
System Recovery is something that is important enough, especially for |
| 17 |
systems that take a long time to get set up (like Gentoo doing a stage 1 |
| 18 |
install), that if Gentoo had this as a part of the *core* functionality |
| 19 |
that was installed and ready to go 'out of the box' so to speak, it |
| 20 |
would just be one more reason that Gentoo was 'just better'. |
