Oh that's good to know. I've found that Gentoo comes with ZFS, and if I |
| 11 |
can create a ZFS file system from some disks and boot from that without |
| 12 |
further ado, that might be pretty cool. |

I tried out the latest Gentoo live DVD ... and I was surprised that the |
| 15 |
software it comes with is so old. Libreoffice 3.x? Seamonkey a couple |
| 16 |
versions behind? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Is the software going to be more recent when I actually install? |

ATM, I'm looking at LXC instead of VMs. I'm planning to make some |
| 31 |
changes again, and containers seem very appealing. |

Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons |
| 36 |
might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable. |
