Well I'm currently in the situation where I'd really like to get a gentoo |
| 12 |
installation up fast. I'm currently working as an intern and have been given |
| 13 |
a box with debian installed (woody). I'd really like to install gentoo but I |
| 14 |
obviously can't wait a day or so without being able to work on the machine |
| 15 |
(it's a Duron 750). So I'm stuck with debian. |
