7 One idea that I certainly support is the notion of a "Gentoopix"
8 installation CD. This would have many of the same features of Knoppix,
9 offering the users a full-featured environment they could use while
10 compiling Gentoo in the background. This is something that I'm a big fan
11 of and I know a number of other devs are as well.

13 This would obviate a lot of the reason/need for GRP, especially for any
14 i686-class machines.
