[gentoo-dev] Some more feedback

[Jan Schubert]

After one week of using gentoo i'm still fascinated. It is absoltely the 
thing which i was looking for years. Thx a lot. Here are some more 
recomendations from my side:

While assembling the iso-image for the next gentoo "Release" consider to 
include some more (up to date) Emergency-Tools. In my case i was missing 
reiserfstools (like resize_reiserfs) which i needed to repartioning my 
harddrive before installing gentoo. In my opionion it would be a good 
idea to include as much (usefull) things as possible like parted, tools 
for repairing and managing any known filesystem, chkrootkit, tcpdump, 
nmap, lsof, whois, traceroute.... And please, please, please: include 
vi(m), i'm not able to handle this nano thing (i bet many more users 
will missing it too). The idea is, to need just one cd in future: for 
installing gentoo (of course) and doing any kind of emergency (including 
security stuff). At this time i also have a SuSE-DVD in my pocket (right 
beside gentoo) to be safe.
As i've seen u have extended make.conf by some more (commented) 
optizimations for some plattforms. I guess this will give many people a 
good start.

Thx a lot,
Jan
