GREAT to KNOW! Sure I've read snippets all over the place, but you have |
| 9 |
just framed the current state (in truth) as I (many?) have not |
| 10 |
comprehended before. So I shall play with ZFS and ext4 for now, waiting |
| 11 |
on BTRFS to become more stable; using the pentoo-installer. |

Another point of curiousity. If ZFS was forgone, which Pentoo does not |
| 15 |
offer in the pentoo-installer, and instead use ext4 for now, what would |
| 16 |
be the problems with Pentoo, especially if the install media was to |
| 17 |
include the sources (along with the binaries) within the liveDVD iso ? |

And I did not intend to infer that Gentoo should do this, just some |
| 21 |
users on whatever wiki, to first prove out the concept. That said, |
| 22 |
having the wisdom of folks, steeped in these murky issues, does help |
| 23 |
others to understand and find work around for the userland folks. |

Also, it seems curious that the last liveDVD was built on ZFSOnLinux; |
| 27 |
curious to have you clear up that misconception I have on ZFS legalities |
| 28 |
related to Gentoo. It's my current favorite liveDVD. |
