That's why I want something that I can install fast.  Gentoo certainly
isn't the right choice for that.  If Kubuntu fails, I can just reinstall
and not format /home.  It doesn't take to long and I'll be back up and
running.  I already keep a fairly up to date sysrescue so having
something for some other distro wouldn't be a huge issue.

Right now, if Gentoo fails to boot because of the init thingy, I have no
idea how to fix it.  None at all.  I know the basics of what it does but
no idea how to fix it when it breaks.  That's where I am now with regard
to my other post.  I can't su to root when using the init thingy but can
when I don't use the init thingy.  I have no clue where to even start to
fix it.  Is it dracut itself?  Is it some script?  Is it some option I
gave it that conflicts with something else?  I have absolutely no idea
why but I know it has something to do with me using the init thingy
since it works fine without it.

Me clueless since this is something I tried to avoid in the past and not
sure why it is needed now either.

More questions than answers for sure.
