4 What i do on private racks is to make a generic kernel (compiling
5 everything into the kernel) and install a stage 3 in one server. Once i
6 have the basic system running, what i do is a kind of stage 4 (its more
7 likely: cd / ; tar czvf system.tar.gz * rather than a stage 4 :P) and
8 copy the 'stage 4' to the other system... and so on.. once i have all
9 the boxes, i use distcc to compile faster. And in the meanwhile
10 recompile the kernel to fit the hardware. If the hardware is the same, i
11 just copy-paste the kernel into the other machines.

13 I've a private rack with redhat enterprise by default OS. What i did the
14 first time to migrate to gentoo was follow this guide
