Agreed; I've never taken them, so don't know their content, but an |
18 |
equivalent tailored to Gentoo (for stuff like init system and package |
19 |
management) would be a good place to start. After all, most of Gentoo |
20 |
administration is working with vanilla configs from upstream. As such, |
21 |
the knowledge stands one in good stead, since it is readily transferable. |

Clearly one would want to update these at least annually for validity, |
24 |
to the benefit of all concerned. |

Does anyone know any of the lpi people? It might be something they'd |
27 |
be interesting in collaborating on. |
